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?
