I thought you were going to be perfect
'Cause your hands, they were warm, and your smile was bright
You'd enter the room, and my world would stop turning
My heart ceased to beat with one look in your eyes
Can't identify what you do, but it's working
I'm
a tough nut to crack, but I've been hypnotized
I'm
the candle you lit at both ends and I'm burning
I'm
all wax, flames, and ash, and I've fallen behind
You packed your bags and walked away
But I still burn for you each day, because
CHORUS
You didn't care enough to repair what you'd broken
You never tried to take back all the words that you'd spoken
You just keep letting go, and I'm the one holding on
I thought we
were going to be something
'Cause you found me
in darkness and you held me close
There was something
about me that you found comforting
I was always
around when you needed to cope
You said you loved me for my strength
Well, I've got nothing left for you to take
CHORUS
I've never seen
myself as optimistic
But you made me believe for
a little while
I've never put much stock in altruistic
But I had so much faith in your smile
You said you
loved me for my strength
Well, I'm finally strong
enough to break
CHORUS
