I stop to catch my breath
And I stop to catch your eye
No need to second-guess
That you've been on my mind
Well I, I dream days away, but that's OK

It's like I want to hear a silent sound
And then hold it in my hand
But a rose won't blossom from a ground
Of desert sand, but I like to pretend that

One day I'll turn around, I'll see your hand reach out
I'm only fooling myself, oh
But maybe when you smile
It means you'd stay awhile
Just maybe you'd save me now

Well, now it's etched in stone
That I can't survive alone
You have the missing piece
That I need so desperately
Yes, I slip away to a day that'll never come

It's like a splash of water to my face
When I suddenly realize
That you could never find a place
For me in your eyes, and I don't know why I keep thinking

[Chorus]

It's love in disguise
I'm lost in your eyes
Lost in your eyes

[Chorus]

I couldn't make this up
I have been outdone by my own kind
I always traded up, yeah
Now I'm a victim for the first time

Well I'm unaffected and indifferent
But I can't pretend I'm not over the edge

Well, well baby, what do you know,
You turned the tables on me, didn't you?
My, my, my, it only serves me right, now I get it
This is how hurt feels
And it's everything they say it is

I was untouchable
Until karma crashed my party
Found out I'm crushable, oh
And I'm the only one who's sorry

I don't get rejected, I've somehow regressed
It's unprecedented, no second best

[Chorus]

No, no, no, don't you go
I do all the breaking up around here
No, no, no, don't steal my show
You should be the one crying these tears

[Chorus]

I never feared the unexpected
Till I found myself in this peculiar place
Unaware of where I was headed
Turns out it was your footsteps I had chased

Well I should know so much better than this
But you've occupied the center of my universe

I'm moving in reverse
Under your mighty curse
I hate myself for loving you
I turn my head away
But my heart will remain
Till the day I learn you're no good for me

It's illogical and it's outrageous
The way I let you keep me hanging on
Your character is that contagious
I know I should have thought before I had done
I've gone and let my impulse be my guide
And on that note, I'll be defenseless for some time

[Chorus]

Hey you there, keep your distance
Don't you come around here
Don't test my patience baby
Cause I ain't gonna let you off easy

[Chorus]

I use no exaggeration
I'm plainly hanging by a thread
And I'm running low on patience
But don't go blame it on yourself

I wish I was in my right mind
But I've left myself unnecessary chores
I make it bad when it's just fine
I was whole and sure, but now I'm clearly torn and there's

Nothing left for me to do
Right and left both bring me to
The center of my deepest fears, where the truth is oh so clear
Embracing inescapable truth
And that's facing up to you

Continual irresolution
Keeps me shackled to the ground
I've been in dire need of revolution
For far too many days to count

I thought I was safe in my hiding place
But it sure is exhausting living in chains
It's paradoxical in every way
Nothing makes sense, I can't tell love from hate

[Chorus]

I'm begging myself to make something out of it
I give up, still unable to comprehend
My own true will, oh but still

[Chorus]

Tears are forming in your eyes
A storm is warning in the sky

The end of the world it seems
You bend down and you fall on your knees
Well get back on your feet yeah

Don't look away
Don't run away
Hey baby it's only life
Don't lose your faith
Don't run away
Hey baby its only life
Yea it's only life

You were always playing hard
Never could let down your guard

But you can't win
If you never give in
To that voice within
Saying pick up your chin
Baby let go of it

[Chorus]

Take your hesitance
And your self-defense
Leave them behind, it's only life
Don't be so afraid
Of facing everyday
Just take your time, it's only life
I'll be your stepping-stone
No, don't be so alone
Just hold on tight, it's only life

[Chorus]

Gone away are the golden days
Just a page in my diary
So here I am, a utopian citizen
Still convinced there's no such thing as idealism

Memories they're following me like a shadow now
And I'm dreaming
And I've already suffered the fever of disbelief

I've seen your act
And I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
It ain't hard to see
Who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
And I wish you were here

I was true as the sky is blue
I couldn't soon say the same for you
So now I find denial in my eyes
I'm mesmerized by the picture that's in my mind

Tell me when I'll finally see your shallow heart
For what it is
Cause I don't want to keep on believing in illusions

[Chorus]

Sometimes I can't explain
And I'm so sorry that I can't
I'll try to concentrate
On your true identity

[Chorus]

Been here before
Revolving door
We're caught up and I don't know what for
Anymore

We had the best
And nothing less
But the second we fell out of step
You up and left

This is so you, this is what you do
You'd rather make do than make a move
What'll it take now, how do I make
This matter enough to you?

Say you're a mess
Say it's a shame
Why can't you at least pretend?
Say I should leave
You're over me
Say something, say anything
Anything
Say anything
Please

What happened to
The plans we made
And that contagious smile upon your face?
It's all begun to fade

You used to be
So careful with me
Making sure that we would always be
Each others' missing piece

Well, we can still save
These tattered pages
What do you say we
Start over baby?

This is our chance
And you're all I have
Don't let me slip through your hands

[Chorus]

You know I miss you, you know I wish you
Missed me too, baby, tell me you do

[Chorus]

The city sleeps
So silently
Wish I could say the same for me
But I've got this dead ended street
To keep searching

For a tunnel underneath the bitter truth
Or a bridge invisible I won't fall through

And I don't know how much I can keep
Letting you unravel me
'Cause the more you learn the more we share
We were worlds apart and you see
It was so much easier to be
'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair

I never meant
Most of those pretty words I said
But I wanted you to think I did
'Cause telling you all this makes no difference
It's useless

'Cause those who get to know our hearts the most
They always seem to be the ones we'll never hold

[Chorus]

Can't you see it's destroying me?
I can't stand the closeness
But don't you dare go avoiding me
It kills me and yet it keeps me going

[Chorus]
