I can read the lines
|
On your face and they're telling me
|
Everything I already know
|
Yeah
|
I hold you in my arms
|
But your light is away from me
|
Slowly sinking under, alone
|
Yeah
|
|
So I act cool
|
On the outside
|
But it's eating me alive
|
|
'Cause when it comes to you
|
There's nothing I can do
|
I can't make you love me when you don't
|
I see it in your eyes
|
All the compromise
|
No, I can't take another slow goodbye
|
|
Sitting in the park, after dark, smoking cigarettes
|
Biting all the black off of my nails
|
'Cause all I ever was what you took away from me
|
Try to make it right, but it's too late
|
|
I'm a hopeless case on the inside
|
And it's eating me alive
|
|
'Cause when it comes to you
|
There's nothing I can do
|
I can't make you love me when you don't
|
I see it in your eyes
|
All the compromise
|
No, I can't take another slow goodbye
|
|
No
|
I die
|
A million times every time when you look me in the eye
|
I die
|
'Cause I've heard it all before
|
The same pain
|
You throw around and around
|
But I still end up with nothing
|
But heartache
|
|
'Cause when it comes to you
|
There's nothing I can do
|
I can't make you love me when you don't
|
I see it in your eyes
|
All the compromise
|
No, I can't take another slow goodbye
|
No
|
There's nothing I can do
|
I can't make you love me when you don't
|
I see it in your eyes
|
All the compromise
|
No, I can't take another slow goodbye
|

Slow Goodbye
