Today I'm reading her sad story
apologizing for my loss
And its bringing me closer to
another decade gone
She says she didn't want to see me hurt
so she keeps from me the shadowed words
What she heard, such tender truths...
I'm running from the possibilities
about what is going on between me and you
And hes singing 'bout the tragedies
but I dont get what he means
(And its bringing me closer to
Another thousand years)
I'm trying to tell him how much he means to me
But he just doesnt hear
And we're waiting to tell everything
yelling into each others deaf ears
She says she wants to be a good friend
And not see my heart broken
And shes bringing me closer to
the inevitable truth
"What he said made me lose all respect for him"
I'm waiting for explanations to spring from her lips
But she tells me I should choose
And walks away
I'm running from all the weakness I feel for you
And hes singing that my loves a travesty
But I just dont get what he means
(And its bringing me closer to
Another thousand years)
Trying to tell him how much he means to me
But he doesnt want to hear
And I'm wondering as I smile on the phone
if what I say and what I feel is just a joke
And my lifes been a pretty sad story
That I dont want you to know
Bringing me closer to
another chapter closed
So yes its a petty tragedy
That I thought he could change
But only fools feel hope
and try to push away pain
And hes bringing me closer to
another fucked up end
Glad for all those bad choices
and all my good friends
i'm sorry for the way i tell you things. and i'm just sorry. for everything.
