I can read the lines on your face and they’re telling me Everything I already know, yeah I hold you in my arms but you're light-years away from me Slowly sinking under alone, yeah
So I act cool on the outside But it’s eating me alive
'Cause when it comes to you there’s nothing I can do I can’t make you love me when you don’t I see it in your eyes all the compromise No, I can’t take another slow goodbye
Sitting in the park after dark Smoking cigarettes, biting on the black of my nails 'Cause all I ever wanted was what you took away from me Trying to make it right but it’s too late
I’m a hopeless case on the inside And it’s eating me alive
'Cause when it comes to you there’s nothing I can do I can’t make you love me when you don’t I see it in your eyes all the compromise No, I can’t take another slow goodbye
I die a million times, every time when you look me in the eye I die 'cause I’ve heard it all before The same game going around and around But I still end up with nothing but hurting
'Cause when it comes to you there’s nothing I can do I can’t make you love me when you don’t I see it in your eyes all the compromise No, I can’t take another slow goodbye
No, there’s nothing I can do I can’t make you love me when you don’t I see it in your eyes all the compromise No, I can’t take another slow goodbye
