|
I can read the lines |
|
On your face and they're telling me |
|
Everything I already know, yeah |
|
I hold you in my arms |
|
But you're light years away from me |
|
Slowly sinking under, alone, yeah |
|
So I act cool on the outside |
|
But it's eating me alive |
|
'Cause when it comes to you |
|
There's nothing I can do |
|
I can't make you love me when you don't |
|
I see it in your eyes |
|
I'm the compromise |
|
No, I can't take another slow goodbye |
|
Sitting in the park, after dark, smoking cigarettes |
|
Biting all the black off of my nails |
|
'Cause all I ever wanted was what you took away from me |
|
Try to make it right, but it's too late |
|
I'm a hopeless case on the inside |
|
And it's eating me alive |
|
'Cause when it comes to you |
|
There's nothing I can do |
|
I can't make you love me when you don't |
|
I see it in your eyes |
|
I'm the compromise |
|
No, I can't take another slow goodbye |
|
No, I die |
|
A million times every time when you look me in the eye |
|
And lie |
|
'Cause I've heard it all before |
|
The same game |
|
We go around and around |
|
But I still end up with nothing |
|
But hurting |
|
'Cause when it comes to you |
|
There's nothing I can do |
|
I can't make you love me when you don't |
|
I see it in your eyes |
|
I'm the compromise |
|
No, I can't take another slow goodbye |
|
No |
|
There's nothing I can do (nothing I can do) |
|
I can't make you love me when you don't |
|
I see it in your eyes |
|
I'm the compromise |
|
No, I can't take another slow goodbye |
