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
