i tried my best to get over you
|
kept my distance so i wouldn't have to show
|
that the things which i kept hidden by my casual smile
|
were the things that i needed you to know
|
you could have seen the acting on the stage
|
you might have read the writing on the page
|
you could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two
|
but you never knew it was i was falling for you
|
|
sometimes i still think i could get to you
|
then i laugh and think i could swim the seven seas
|
it seems when i'm set to fly there's a storm up in the sky
|
when i'm set to sail there isn't any breeze
|
you could have seen the acting on the stage
|
you might have read the writing on the page
|
you could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two
|
but you never knew it was i was falling for you
|
|
it's been some time now that i saw you in a photograph
|
looking just the way you did so long ago
|
i could almost see you throw your head back and start to laugh
|
in that gentle way that used to let me know
|
things were okay and a hurting song is just a cliche
|
and what's the use if they only always fade away
|
just like the sun just like everyone but you
|
