lyrics

I get a little bit nervous
Standing at your door again
You pay a bit of lip service
Take a breath, then draw me in
Couple hours 'til morning
I get a sense of deja vu
Can't you see I'm performing
(And I know you are too)

Endless nights, I would try to rewind
To a time when you would hold me tight
(And I would hold on too)
But it faded like the stars in your eyes
No matter how hard I try
I can't find the light

I've been fighting for your heart
But I know I'll always lose
I lost myself chasing what I knew
And I know it's not enough
To promise you that I could be like someone else
(Someone like you)

Move on
When I try I always hurt myself
For so long
I've been silent, hiding how I felt
Too far gone
Is a feeling that I know too well
Oh, how long
Will you keep me under your spell

Cuz I've been fighting for your heart
But I know I'll always lose
I lost myself chasing what I knew
And I know it's not enough
To promise you that I could be like someone else
Someone like you

I've been feeling a type of way
Running out of words to say
I don't know how to leave things up to their fate
Cuz if I leave it all alone
And let my heart turn all the way to stone
I don't know if I'll ever let go
(Let you go)

Cuz I've been fighting for your heart
But I know I'll always lose
I lost myself chasing what I knew
And I know it's not enough
To promise you that I could be like someone else

But I let you in
You took me out
Fool me once
I'll live without
Breathing you in
Can't get you out
Fool me twice
Live with the doubt
