It was a callous thing to say
Chasing your dearest dreams away
But i must do what echoes in my heart
And the words are never far apart
Only a fool would tell you no
When only time should have to go
Still inside, i find another way
And i can't remember yesterday
I won't lie to you tonight
To make everything alright
I haven't slept the whole night through
Since i last met eyes with you
And you should know, i'm freezing to the bone
Like a child that's never been alone
Under the weight of what's been said
And all the questions in my head
Just be sure, i haven't given up
On a word that will never measure up
I won't lie to you tonight
To make everything alright
