It's taken its toll, girl, the silence is cold
|
We're stuck at a dead end
|
And I'm starting to wonder
|
Did I say something wrong?
|
|
I keep asking the question
|
Will you turn around and come with me?
|
Or should I read the signs and leave
|
And let you be?
|
|
And now I'm standing at this roadblock
|
And there's no way around it
|
I've been waiting for your mind to change
|
'Cause it feels so one sided
|
|
I saw us break, I watched us fall
|
It made no sense to me at all
|
You say that you will but then you don't
|
So I'm gonna take this step alone
|
|
In my heart of hearts, I always knew
|
This jump was way too far for you
|
You say that you will but then you don't
|
So I'm gonna to take this step
|
I'm gonna take this step alone, alone
|
|
So give me a reason why you're on the outside
|
When you should be here?
|
We're no good together so maybe it's better
|
I'll walk alone but you'll always be near
|
|
Now there's no room for settling
|
I gotta do this, I need to, oh
|
But this mirror that I'm looking in
|
There's no reflection without you
|
|
'Cause I saw us break, I watched us fall
|
It made no sense to me at all
|
You say that you will but then you don't
|
So I'm gonna take this step alone
|
|
In my heart of hearts, I always knew
|
This jump was way too far for you
|
You say that you will but then you don't
|
So I'm gonna to take this step
|
I'm gonna take this step alone
|
|
The sanctity I found deep in your arms
|
It was a false alarm and it burns, yeah, it hurts
|
I lie awake at night
|
And think of what we could have been if it worked
|
|
Then we chose to go our separate ways
|
Instead of meeting each other half way
|
And if I had to choose, girl
|
I'd have you by my side
|
|
I saw us break, I watched us fall
|
It made no sense to me at all
|
You say that you will but then you don't
|
So I'm gonna take this step alone
|
|
In my heart of hearts, I always knew
|
This jump was way too far for you
|
You say that you will but then you don't
|
So I'm gonna to take this step
|
I'm gonna take this step alone, alone, alone
|
I'm gonna take this step alone, all alone
|
