The city sleeps
So silently
Wish I could say the same for me
But I've got this dead ended street
To keep searching for
A tunnel underneath the bitter truth
Or a bridge invisible I won't fall through
And I don't know how much I can keep
Letting you unravel me
'Cause the more you learn the more we share
We were worlds apart and you see
It was so much easier to be
'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair
I never meant
Most of those pretty words I said
But I wanted you to think I did
'Cause telling you all this makes no difference, oh
It's useless, oh
'Cause those who get to know our hearts the most
They always seem to be the ones we'll never hold
And I don't know how much I can keep
Letting you unravel me
'Cause the more you learn the more we share
We were worlds apart and you see
It was so much easier to be
'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair
Can't you see it's destroying me?
I can't stand the closeness, oh
But don't you dare go avoiding me
It kills me and yet it keeps me going
And I don't know how much I can keep
Letting you unravel me
'Cause the more you learn the more we share
We were worlds apart and you see
It was so much easier to be
'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair
