You said to give you a reason to stay there
You said to give you a reason to care
I wanted to tell you, I wanted to say
That sometimes there simply is no way
You stare me down, expecting a miracle
You hold yourself high as though you’re invincible
You’re unable to see when you walk in the light
You can’t tell the difference between left and right

And I’ve got nothing left to lose
And as the sky turns midnight blue
Your mind becomes a haze
As we think about those days
And the memories flow in
And the sorrows all begin
As we fight the urge to say
That we should all live for today

Chorus:
Although it hurts to be
The only ones alive
I think I’m glad to say
That it’s good to take a dive
You can finish what you start
Or you can leave it there to bleed
But one thing is for certain
It is you I need

I don’t quite have a reason to love you
I don’t quite have a thing left to do
It’s a mysterious thing, the concept of peace
But I’m asking you to do this now, please
To tell it to me plain and simple
Alone or in front of a huge crowd of people
Are you who you say you are
Or has it been a lie so far

And it’s impossible to describe
How I feel about those times
The days we thought would never end
The need that I felt to defend
Every single word I said
And as blood rushes to my head
I wonder if it’s even true
Was it me or was it you

Chorus

Are you ever gonna tell me what you think
Or are we gonna let the battleship sink
Yeah, you know that it’s been ages
And our book’s run out of pages
So I stare around my room
It’s as if it is my tomb
Where have all the good times gone
They’ve lasted so very long
I don’t want to see you break
No matter how much strength it takes

Chorus
