So why should I take your hand when you can't promise happy endings? It's starting to get old That story that untold Reflect before we walk into What we already know Won't be so easy Looking back at high school drama Didn't try to fix what we thought were problems Someone's writing empty letters Is there no other way? Staring at your reflection every day Can make or break my heart away When you won't listen to what's hard for me to say Those tear stained eyes can make me feel so sad And once again we're further away from what we never had So why should I take your hand when you can't promise happy endings? Just run away with so much left to share It's just not enough When we're so much more than friends We're much too young to throw away our cares There's no sense in regretting what's been said in our yesterdays We're getting backwards double We can look ahead And I would walk so much further just to know what I'm doing here And there's no end to what I'd give to know just what you meant when you said How can I feel alive when we can't help but break our backs just to survive? Is this another time we can't control our lives? Those tear stained eyes can make me feel so sad And once again we're further away from what we never had So why should I take your hand when you can't promise happy endings? Just run away with so much left to share It's just not enough When we're so much more than friends We're much too young to throw away our cares How can I feel alive when we can't help but break our backs just to survive?
