You called me just the other day To ask my why we're not the same And I could barely find an honest answer Yes I know that things have changed But I'm afraid if I explain then there'll Be nothing left of what we have I think about it all the time Each memory I find Is making me wonder if we left the chance of love behind Try as I might but I can't let go Of every reason to love you so And I wish that I could hear you say you love me too Strong are the feelings I can't ignore You're everything that I'm living for And wish that I could hear you say that you love me too Sorry if it's hard to hear I've tried to make this disappear but I Just need to tell you how I'm feeling I know you've had some fears But I wish you'd say you need me near so I Could give you joy you can believe in I think about it all the time Each memory I find Is making me wonder if we left the chance of love behind Try as I might but I can't let go Of every reason to love you so And I wish that I could hear you say you love me too Strong are the feelings I can't ignore You're everything that I'm living for And wish that I could hear you say that you love me too Is there a world where you can see what I see Maybe I should forget the love we could have been in Try as I might but I can't let go Of every reason to love you so And I wish that I could hear you say you love me too Strong are the feelings I can't ignore You're everything that I'm living for And wish that I could hear you say that you love me too Repeat Chorus

I've been trying to save us for far too long While trying to understand what I did wrong Anyone can see things are not the same And it's hard to tell myself I'm not to blame (I don't want to change you) I just want a little more of your time And I'll give you mine We're going down a one way street Can't you see That this is a road that I can't bear to take Now we're on a one way street Why's it all on me? Far too many years for us to throw away I could let it go and not say a thing Erase our past and all that days could bring All I need at times is someone to care But when I search for you you're never there (I don't want to change you) I just want a little more of your time And I'll give you mine Now we’re on a one way street Can't you see That this is a road that I can't bear to take We're on a one way street Why's it all on me? Far too many years for us to throw away You don't even seem to know You took me high when I was low I see you in a different light It's the strangest thing But here I am again with open arms to let you in Now we’re on a one way street Can't you see That this is a road that I can't bear to take Now we're on a one way street Why's it all on me? Far too many years for us to throw away

Every day I worry about the future In to an unknown I can’t explain Anxious are the places now that fear begins to reign Back into a world unmade Trying to find the answers but I’m faithless Is there hope in hymns I’ve never sung? Helpless are my hands, how can I change what we’ve become And calm the storm that’s raging on Should I ever want to bring another In to this world, would I not be ashamed? For all the hesitation and the words we never said And every reckless life we’ve led Trying to find the answers but I’m faithless Is there hope in hymns I’ve never sung? Helpless are my hands, how can I change what we’ve become And calm the storm that’s raging on If I keep my head above these waters Learn to feel my way through changing tides Could I know a peace that rises like the dawning sun Or now is all my hope undone Or now is all my hope undone Or now is all my hope undone

I’d like to write you a love song And sing how in love we could be But if I wrote you a love song Would you write a love song for me? It’s so hard to tell you how I feel It’s a notion I just can’t conceal ‘cause I long for you in ways I can’t ignore Words don’t come that easily But I find myself here trying to tell you that… I’d like to write you a love song And sing how in love we could be But if I wrote you a love song Would you write a love song for me? You might say we never crossed your mind And there’s nothing left in me for you to find But I long for you in ways I can’t explain Words don’t come that easily But I find myself trying to tell you that… I’d like to write you a love song And sing how in love we could be But if I wrote you a love song Would you write a love song for me? Maybe we’ll never know But I couldn’t live with myself if I never said a word I don’t want to let it go There’s something in you that makes me still want to say I’d like to write you a love song And sing how in love we could be But if I wrote you a love song Would you write a love song for me? Repeat Chorus

We tried to fix this thing between us While hoping we could find our happiness I don’t know where we belong Promised a dream but love was lying And now I’m used to having you around We learned to play our parts Tears were cried and many questions asked But we know this wasn’t built to last Love and life provide no guarantee I’m not the one for you, and you’re not the one for me And now we know Ohh, now we know Ohh, now we know that it’s time to say goodbye We should have known that this was coming And seen that there was nothing left to love We could never survive Tears were cried and many questions asked But we know this wasn’t built to last Love and life provide no guarantee I’m not the one for you, and you’re not the one for me And now we know Ohh, now we know Ohh, now we know that it’s time to say goodbye Maybe in another lifetime we could be deeply in love But for now we know that… Tears were cried and many questions asked But we know this wasn’t built to last Love and life provide no guarantee I’m not the one for you, and you’re not the one for me And now we know Ohh, now we know Ohh, now we know that it’s time to say goodbye Repeat Chorus
