Let me introduce myself,
You could call me ill
Some days I think I've fooled myself
Or, maybe it's the pills
Fooled to think that someone would eventually stay
Fooled to think that maybe I'm finally okay
And I'm walking through the days
'Cause I really have no choice
I'm just barely hangin' on
Can you hear it in my voice?
Here I sit in this same chair
Saying, This too shall pass, I swear
Staring out the same window
With the same longing eyes
Wearing a smile like it's a disguise
'Cause I want you to believe
That I wanted you to leave
That I'm alright on my own
That I'm better off alone
With my coffee in hand
I listen to the bands as they sing of their lasting love
And I think to myself, Why everyone else? Why couldn't that be us?
And I lose my faith in love
Will I ever be enough?
And I pick myself apart
Wishing I could go back to the start
Here I sit in this same chair
Saying, This too shall pass, I swear
Staring out the same window
With the same longing eyes
Wearing a smile like it's a disguise
'Cause I want you to believe
That I wanted you to leave
That I'm alright on my own
That I'm better off alone
And I pick myself apart
Wishing I could go back to the start
Thinking where did I go wrong?
Why does love never last that long?
Why does love never last that long?
Why does love never last that long?
