You?re scared of getting stuck
Scared to be alone
You?re scared of your own history
And now you?re scared of all my songs
But there?s a beating in your chest
Just like the one in mine
And I remember you smiling
I remember all the time
Oh, we?ll still grow old
Not side by side but on our own
I cannot say I trust you
And I don?t want to be your friend
But I think I see your goodness again
Your love is unsurpassed
It burns bright and it burns fast
It?s not the kind of love you can count on
But it?s stunning while it lasts
You?re driven by the impulse
It never lets you rest
And I know you didn?t mean to hurt me
You just did what you do best
Oh, we?ll still grow old
Not side by side but on our own
I cannot say I trust you
And I don?t want to be your friend
But I think I see your goodness again
Sparkling eyes in a crowded room
I still think of you in the springtime
When your favorite flowers bloom
When your favorite flowers bloom
You stepped out of the car
For the rabbit in the road
You couldn?t bear to watch him suffer
Lying mangled in the snow
With your hands around his neck
You spared his misery
How swift you gave that rabbit
What you couldn?t give to me
Oh, we?ll still grow old
Not side by side but on our own
I cannot say I trust you
And I don?t want to be your friend
But I think I see your goodness again
