I saw you wave goodbye and play it off as so romantic
|
I thought it cute, and couldn't help it as my
|
Strength inside, failed to ward off your advances
|
|
And now I'm,
|
I'm caught up in politics and lies
|
As entertainers we try and sing this same song every night
|
I'm tired of trying to treat you like
|
You ever mattered enough for me to put this kind of time
|
Or any time at all, I swear
|
|
Slow down...
|
Just enough to
|
Fake this...
|
Cause there's way too much riding
|
On an educated guess
|
I couldn't live without
|
Just calm down...
|
Enough to get me through this
|
And lay back...
|
So I can really get a chance tonight
|
To play out the process while lost in the moment
|
Where I know this is right
|
|
With my arms around you
|
I'm trying to tune out everything that anyone has said
|
But who can forget the past
|
That's so ripe with lies and deceit that
|
I'm stuck debating to ask you
|
"With all you've done,
|
Do you remember how it feels to be in love?"
|
|
Even though the stakes were high
|
The prize I won, well, just wasn't that fantastic
|
It's left me bruised and wondering how and why I'm
|
Living the politicians life
|
Where it's more important to save my image than to save my soul
|
|
I guess that's how I survived
|
And oh, there's a certain part of me that knows they're right
|
And I hope you know, that I know
|
But until I care too much I'll just
|
|
Slow down...
|
Just enough to
|
Fake this...
|
Cause there's way too much riding
|
On an educated guess
|
I couldn't live without
|
Just calm down...
|
Enough to get me through this
|
And lay back...
|
So I can really get a chance tonight
|
To play out the process while lost in the moment
|
Where I know this is right
|
|
I tried my best to make an offer
|
You tried your best to meet my demands
|
But you won't come close and I won't calm down
|
Your track record has made this personal
|
Still everything I said I loved
|
|
You don't hear me though...
|
|
Slow down...
|
Just enough to
|
Fake this...
|
Cause there's way too much riding
|
On an educated guess
|
I couldn't live without
|
Just calm down...
|
Enough to get me through this
|
And lay back...
|
So I can really get a chance tonight
|
To play out the process while lost in the moment
|
Where I know this is right
|
|
With my arms around you
|
I'm trying my best to get these words
|
And feeling off my chest
|
And still I'm saving the best for last
|
We lied down to do what we do best
|
And throw caution into the wind
|
Cause what's done is done
|
"Can you remember how it feels?"
|
|
If one night can make me feel like this
|
I swear I'd take it back if I could take it back
|
There's so much that I wish I could have asked
|
Before you let me down and before I let you...
|
|
There's only one thing I know I have to ask you,
|
and that's "do you go through what I am going through?"
