We can't be together,
It's way too hard for them.
When I see you look at me
I have to pretend I believe in your longing for someone else-
But I know what's going on in your mind,
I can see it in your eyes,
No need to speak.
I've grown too comfortable in your silence,
Because it's all we've ever spoke.
I've spent too many nights with you on my mind,
Laying on my bed sheets alone.
And when you call so late at night,
I must be out of my mind;
Why do I still pick up the phone?
Days have passed months have gone,
I've tricked myself to believe I've moved on;
Chorus:
I'd like to move on don't you think I've tried,
it seems much easier from the other side.
When you wear your heart on your sleeve,
don't you think I've cried
when you turn around and walk away every time.
And I know you're scared,
But so am I.
And all I know is that you've broken my heart a 100 times-
I need to try.
You can't just walk right in and out of my life as you choose,
I've always left more than a light on for you.
It's getting hard to keep that vacant sign aglow,
You've racked a bill up and I gotta let you go.
Bridge:
But I don’t know if I could live with myself,
If we don’t give into ourselves
For just one night.
I’d like to try,
Boy can we try,
For just one night.
Chorus:
I'd like to move on don't you think I've tried,
it seems much easier from the other side.
When you wear your heart on your sleeve,
don't you think I've cried
when you turn around and walk away every time.
And I know you're scared,
But so am I.
And all I know is that you've broken my heart a 100 times-
Still wanna try.
