Something has to be declared
You know what happened to what you once declared
So don't even start telling me I had not cared
Facing me, convinced you don't love me
For I'd be better of if only I could see
That there's no future, and no it will never be
I remain wonderin' about reasons just to disagree
Unable to see what has happened to you
Not gettin' what it is you're trying to do
Against all odds, once again, you're standing outside my door
Blessing me with the inability to understand why or what for
We're gettin' closer, closer and so much more
Foolishly I form again, that, which isn't to adore
Well aware that you will be taking it away
No matter how right the things I say
You expect me to believe there ain't no reason why?
Everytime I try asking about yours when kissing me good-bye
A flash of honesty evokes this all too familiar sigh
So I give in, continuing to live the almost perfect lie
By now we have gotten sort of used to it
Yet the truth does eat away bit by bit
Thoughts, my punishment for being down so low
Friends gloating knowing they have told me so
I wish it already were really long ago
Instead time takes pleasure in passing way too slow
To be put simple it seems unreal
Misleading is the tension we both feel
Refusing to believe, that the closer we get
The more you feel the need to leave me upset
Thinking it will prevent you from feeling regret
Meanwhile I stand here, a stranger, like on the day we first met
Now that you know that I have always cared
I'm telling you that something has to be declared
