slow goodbye

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

i'm the compromise

no

i can't take another slow goodbye

sitting in the park

after dark

smoking cigarettes

biting all the black off of my nails

'cause all i ever wanted was what you took away from me

try 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

i'm the compromise

no

i can't take another slow goodbye

no

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 pain

we go around and around

but i still end up with nothing

but heartache

'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

i'm the compromise

no

i can't take another slow goodbye

no

there's nothing i can do

nothing i can do

i can't make you love me when you don't

i see it in your eyes

i'm the compromise

no

i can't take another slow goodbye
