Verse 1 Look at us, tell me what this is, Standing close but lost in the distance. How can love feel so near, so far? I wore my heart out in the open, But your heart was never where mine was. I was foolish from the start. Pre-Chorus For once, don’t ask for my beauty, Ask for the soul beneath my skin. I’d give you everything without a fight, I’d let you in. Chorus But don’t leave me broken beyond repair, Don’t leave me hanging in the air. One careless word and I come undone, Falling apart when the night has come. So look into my eyes, can you see? All the things you never asked of me. I found your love, but it slipped away, Close enough to touch, too far to stay. Verse 2 I know the world’s a restless fire, Maybe that’s why you never noticed I was enough for you all along. Why do you return with tired shoulders, Wearing innocence like a disguise, When you don’t know where I belong? Pre-Chorus If you’re here again with storms inside, Then stay a little longer tonight. Ask me how I’ve been, that’s all I need, To make things right. Chorus So don’t leave me broken beyond repair, Don’t leave me hanging in the air. One careless word and I come undone, Falling apart when the night has come. Look into my eyes, can you see? All the silent wounds inside of me. I found your love, but it slipped away, Close enough to touch, too far to stay. Bridge Maybe someday, when your story’s told, My name won’t live between the lines. Maybe I’ll fade like a forgotten song, Lost somewhere in time. But here I am, still holding on, With all these words I never said. A heart that’s full of you somehow, And emptiness instead. Final Chorus Look into my eyes, can you see? The truth that’s buried underneath. I had your heart, but never completely, You were with me, never really with me. Look into my eyes and you’ll find A love unfinished by design. I keep reaching for what isn’t mine, Still hoping you’ll change your mind. Outro Look at the lines we’ve drawn between us, Lines no dream can erase. The world keeps running, chasing something, But I don’t belong in this race. No, I don’t belong in this place.
