We're driving slow through the snow on Fifth Avenue
And right now radio's all that we can hear
Now we ain't talked since we left, it's so overdue
It's cold outside but between us it's worse in here

The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts

I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't wanna try now
All that's left's goodbye
To find a way that I can tell you
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here

Everyday, seven takes of the same old scene
Seems we're bound by the laws of the same routine
Gotta talk to you now 'fore we go to sleep
But will we sleep once I tell you it's hurting me

The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts

I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't wanna try now
All that's left's goodbye
To find a way that I can tell you
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here

I know you'll ask me to hold on
And carry on like nothing's wrong
But there is no more time for lies
'Cause I see sunset in your eyes

I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't wanna try now
All that's left's goodbye
To find a way that I can tell you

That I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I hate this part
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it

I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take these tears
I hate this part right here

when i stand in a crowded room
i feel alone like nobody's there
and when u talk cold to me
i can see ur breath in the air
it's taking it's toll on me
in the bathroom taking showers
so u don't see me cry
baby it's such a crime
I've tried to feel confident
I'm bitter, you're not making sense
i missed you till you almost took
my sanity, I'm starting a new verse


Like poetry
hiding behind the words you speak
changing the words of the story
you say you don't love me
then say that you love me
i'm fighting
you're hiding behind the words
you're speaking
changing the words
I'm lost in the verse
you say you don't love me
then say that you love me
why are you hiding?

when i give you gratitude
you act like you don't hear me speak
and when i tell you what you do to me
you don't even hear the truth
what are you trying to prove?
i stare out the window for hours
cuz you don't listen to me
you won't even look in my eyes
I've tried to feel confident
I'm bitter, you're not making sense
i missed you till you almost took
my sanity, I'm starting a new verse


Like poetry
hiding behind the words you speak
changing the words of the story
you say you don't love me
i'm fighting
you're hiding behind the words
you're speaking
changing the words
i'm lost in the verse
you say you don't love me
then say that you love me
why are you hiding?

don't believe what you're saying
i read your face and i'm blanking
cuz i don't know what's in front of my eyes
i try to feel confident
i've tried to feel confident
i'm bitter, you're not making sense
i missed you till you almost took
my sanity
oh oh oh o-oh (four times)
i'm starting a new verse

like poetry
hiding behind the words you speak
changing the words of the story
you say you don't love me
then say that you love me
i'm fighting

you say you don't love me
then say that you love me
why are you hiding?

I hear the words you speak it's clearer every time
The middle, the end, the sound of every line
But do they mean a thing when defenses are stoppin' you
From saying everything that I need you to?

Do you know what it's like when it kills, it's a crime
When the one that you want is only speaking in empty rhymes
'Cause I want you, want you, want you, I've fallen over you
So don't tell me, tell me, tell me the sun will see the moon
When I need ya, need ya, need ya you make me wait in line
Just be cool tonight, don't lie

Do you remember the first time when it was you and I
When lonely days and memories erased with time
And everything in front of us was ours to lose
But somewhere along the way you had to choose

Do you know what it's like when it kills, it's a crime
You tell me you want me but I don't see you standin' by
'Cause I want you, want you, want you, I've fallen over you
So don't tell me, tell me, tell me the sun will see the moon
But I need ya, need ya, need ya you make me wait in line
Just be cool tonight, don't lie

Yeah, I thought you could be something more like the light in my life
But these barricades they get bigger and bigger time passes by
There's a web filled with holes and I can't stop myself I keep falling through
Just say anything, right now that should do

Oh, don't leave me
When you lose it

Do you know what it's like when it's gone, it's a crime
And it's so obvious but we know the truth's not kind
But I want you, want you, want you, I've fallen over you
So don't tell me, tell me, tell me the sun will see the moon
When I need ya, need ya, need ya don't make me wait in line
Just be cool tonight, don't lie
Just be cool tonight, don't lie
