lyrics

I thought that we had fire
I never knew our love was so demanding
When everyone around us broke apart
I thought what kept us together was an understanding

Then there came new influences
and with them your new restlessness
and one night when I reached for you
you turned from me, so comfortless

You keep using words like compromise
Well forgive me if I find it all a little hard to swallow
But when I look into the void that's in your eyes
I see no feeling for me and it makes your words ring hollow

Now I sit alone, in this kind of waiting room
To wait for the results of these tests you put me through
Scary how somehow think you have the right to judge
whether or not I'm good enough for you

Sign your name and let me be released
Or fight for our love's last chance to survive
More than anything you know I want to believe
The good that I first saw in you can be revived

You keep using words like compromise
Well forgive me if I find it all a little hard to swallow
But when I look into the void that's in your eyes
I see no feeling for me and it makes your words ring hollow

So leave and you won't have to lie anymore
about going all those places where I'm not welcome too
But just know, once you have thrown us away
you can never talk me into coming back to you

Even if it's complicated, you still have a choice to make
If I'm not your priority, it's time to make one last clean break

You keep using words like compromise
Well forgive me if I find it all a little hard to swallow
But when I look into the void that's in your eyes
I see no feeling for me and it makes your words ring hollow
