Say what you want to me

because you could never lie,

as hard as you try.

Your face tells me everything-

your lies are betrayed

by a glance that you take at me

when you think that I'm turned away

and you peel that smile off of your face.

Then your sadness starts screaming

and you can't keep fooling yourself.

Maybe nobody else

sees you like I see you.

Maybe I don't want them to-

well, I'd say if I knew-

but it's so hard to think straight

when you're so far away from me-

 

and you keep

wishing on running feet

to erase your memory.

Like pink rubber dreams

on a black ink reality,

as hard as you try

you can't kiss our love goodbye.

 

But goodbye anyway,

we're leaving the same day.

I'm going back the way I came-

hands empty, heart full of regret.

Heart empty but for you whom I miss.

 

Away for too long,

but I'm coming back for you

when the apologies are all through.

I'm going back the way I came-

 

But you keep

wishing on running feet

to erase your memory.

Like pink rubber dreams

on a black ink reality,

as hard as you try

you can't kiss our love goodbye.
