lyrics

There’s a cold breeze coming in this morning
Leaves are turning brown, the skies are grey
Ominous clouds lining the horizon
But I can’t leave this place

Silence spreads between us like an ocean
But I’d swim the seven seas to get to you
Empty words fall just like rocks into the depths below
But I’d brave the deep to get the truth

I don’t want to believe that our something special is over now
I don’t want to believe that our precious engine is stalling out
‘Cause I’d still follow you through the dark
Even though we’ve lost the road
But if you can’t love me, if you can’t love me back
Tell me to go

There’s a sadness weighing in my footsteps
There’s a memory playing in my head
And each sigh you breathe keeps telling me
There’s nothing left to save
But I keep searching, I keep searching

I don’t want to believe that our something special is over now
I don’t want to believe that our precious engine is stalling out
‘Cause I’d still follow you through the dark
Even though we’ve lost the road
But if you can’t love me, if you can’t love me back
Tell me to go

Once upon a time, baby, you knew all the right words
They’re still somewhere deep inside like the smile in your eyes
And all I ever wanted was to be heard by you
‘Cause your voice could change the world like it changed this little girl

I don’t want to believe that our something special is over now
I don’t want to believe that our precious engine is stalling out
‘Cause I’d still follow you through the dark
Even though we’ve lost the road
But if you can’t love me, if you can’t love me back
Tell me to go
