Leave You In The Past

What would happen if I caught your eye?
Would you look away or give me that smile?
The one that makes it hard to breathe
the one that puts you out of reach
I try to cover it up by crying in the rain
but even that won't hide the pain
The book I'm reading has your name in it
and I think of how unfair it is

How did you manage to come out unharmed?
How did you escape without even a scar?
Did you suffer at all?
Did I break down your walls?
If you could do it all over again,
would you take the chance?
I know that we can't find a way to last
so I think I'll leave you in the past

I wish you would have made up your mind
I wish it was the other way around
but I wanted to believe
that you were the one star I could reach
but before I got a hold on this
It slipped right through my fingertips
I hope you're happy being oblivious
while I'm no better at being miserable

How did you manage to come out unharmed?
How did you escape without even a scar?
Did you suffer at all?
Did I break down your walls?
If you could do it all over again,
would you take the chance?
I know that we can't find a way to last
so I think I'll leave you in the past

I've put up my walls, no one gets in
I've turned so cold, my heart is frozen
I'm tired of being let down
I'm tired of pulling myself off the ground
I die one small piece at a time
until I'm dead on the inside
I think it's time I said goodbye
It's about time I started to feel alive

I'm not saying I came out unharmed
I couldn't escape without a scar
I just can't keep waiting for an "us"
Depending on you is never enough
If I could do it all over again
I don't think I'd take that chance
We can't find a way to last
so I think I'll leave you in the past
