It looks as if there's nothing left to do
Tried to show all of the best of me to you
Did I try too hard at this or not enough?
I couldn't force the spark to bring out all our love
I can't convince myself
That you need someone else
It's weighing down on me
I know I'll never be
Ready to see all this happen
I have to face the truth in front of me
That I can't change it if it isn't meant to be
It hurts to do it but I must decide
Before it all gets worse and rips me up inside
I must convince myself
That you need someone else
It's weighing down on me
I know I'll never be
Strong enough to watch this happen
I'm terrified that when it does
I won't know what to do because
I've never hurt this much before
I'm scared that this pain will be more
So go on, why not take his hand
I'm too weak now to understand
Forget my name, forget my face
Or better yet forget this place
It's weighing down on me
I know I'll never be
Ready to see all this happen
It's weighing down on me
I know I'll never be
Strong enough to watch this happen
