It's been such a long time since I've seen your face,
|
And maybe I ignore the sound of your voice.
|
It's leaving me empty you try to forget me.
|
These days and chances are looking slim.
|
I tell "You look nice." you say I'm looking thin.
|
I say "I haven't been eating or really been sleeping.
|
Just breathing and thinking of you."
|
|
I'm coming clean tonight.
|
I'm going to tell you everything I've been holding inside.
|
But I'm only wasting time.
|
I don't want to let you go.
|
|
I see you in his arms I'm faking a smile.
|
I watch as you finish the drink in your hand.
|
Pretend to be happy until you look at me.
|
Now we remember again.
|
Right now you know I could use a drink
|
Or even better yet maybe two or three.
|
Because I've never been over the pain,
|
And it helps me forget and go on once again.
|
|
I'm coming clean tonight.
|
I'm going to tell you everything I've been keeping inside.
|
But I'm only wasting time.
|
I don't want to let you go.
|
|
Now I'm sleeping I can breathe.
|
This is now a dream.
|
Under the moonlight and in your arms,
|
Always forever 'till everything's just fine.
|
Under this street light and in your eyes,
|
Always forever 'till everything's just fine.
|
|
I'm coming clean tonight.
|
I'm going to tell you everything I've been keeping inside.
|
But I'm only wasting time.
|
I don't want to let you go.
|
That I outta let you know.
