lyrics

I'm sorry you're feeling this way
You're burying yourself deeper and deeper everyday
And I know that you're insecure
But that's okay 'cause I am too

Don't listen to a word that they say
I know that I'm leaving but I'll return someday
And I know that you're scared to death
But that's okay 'cause I am too

And now everything falls apart
And I think to myself once again
Why must everything come to an end?
And I know that things haven't seemed right
We were hopeless by the end of the night you found your sheets thrown on the floor
You bled through me then begged some more
For the future just remember what I said
It's just us against the world again

Help me, I can't even speak
I can't stand another day of hearing your wither and weep.
And I know that I'm insecure
But that's okay 'cause so are you

And now everything falls apart
And I think to myself once again
Why must everything come to an end?
And I know that things haven't seemed right
We were hopeless by the end of the night you found your sheets thrown on the floor
You bled through me then begged some more
For the future just remember what I said
It's just us against the world again

And now everything falls apart
And I think to myself once again
Why must everything come to an end?
And I know that things haven't seemed right
We were hopeless by the end of the night you found your sheets thrown on the floor
You bled through me then begged some more
For the future just remember what I said
It's just us against the world again
