lyrics

A:
Staring into silence
Trying to speak your name
But I can’t remember, because it’s not the same
When I thought I knew you,
I thought we’d never change
But we’re different now
And there’s no one left to blame

A:
Faltering through the motions
Following the plans
Doing what they told us to
With half our hearts in hand
We both know that when we’re through
We’ll never speak again
We just want to tell ourselves
“We’re doing everything we can”

B:
I hate to leave a burning building
I’ve never been the first to run
I can’t stand to lose your memory
But what’s the use?
We know you’ll never be the one

A:
Ringing like a bell tower
Pounding like a glove
My hands are getting heavy
From fighting God above
I wish that I could tell you
You’re what I’m dreaming of
But when you’re gone
I know I’ll only dream of your love
