lyrics

I know what you're used to
That I can't refuse you
You can't will this heart of mine to break

When we were younger
Our love was like hunger
Felt like a risk we had to take

You swore this was different
Well how is it different?
And tell me what difference does it make?

Been holding me hostage for so long
I'm ready to switch my side
I feel like a ghost as I watch you pass by

I can't keep this up for much longer
I'm ready to cross the line
But how many ways can you say that you're sorry
For the things you can't undo

She looks in the mirror
And speaks; I don't hear her
And everything feels made for TV

Where things that are crazy
Seem perfectly normal
And everyone has someplace to be

So maybe I'm dreaming
My consciousness streaming
But I'm not convinced this dreams for me

Been holding me hostage for so long
I'm ready to switch my side
I feel like a ghost as I watch you pass by

I can't keep this up for much longer
I'm ready to cross the line
But how many ways can you say that you're sorry
For the things you can't undo
