Slow Goodbye

Slow Goodbye
I can read the lines
On your face and they're telling me
Everything I already know Yeah
I hold you in my arms
But your light is away from me
Slowly sinking under, alone Yeah

So I act cool
On the outside
But it's eating me alive
'Cause when it comes to you
there's nothing I can do
I can't make you love
me when you don't
I see it in your eyes
All the compromise
No, I can't take another slow goodbye
Sitting in the park,
after dark, smoking
cigarettes
Biting all the black off of my nails
'Cause all I ever was what
you took away from me
Try to make it right,
but it's too late
I'm a hopeless case on the inside
And it's eating me alive
'Cause when it comes to you
there's nothing I can do
I can't make you love
me when you don't
I see it in your eyes
All the compromise
No, I can't take another slow goodbye
No I die
A million times every
time when you look me
in the eye I die
'Cause I've heard it all before
The same pain
You throw around and around
But I still end up with nothing
But heartache

'Cause when it comes to you
there's nothing I can do
I can't make you love
me when you don't
I see it in your eyes
All the compromise
No, I can't take another slow goodbye No
there's nothing I can do
I can't make you love
me when you don't
I see it in your eyes
All the compromise
No, I can't take another slow goodbye
