lyrics

I’ve been shot and it didn’t make a sound
As I fall back I see my heart there on the ground
It was too much too fast and we’d gone to far to fix now
And we tried to go back but just couldn’t figure out how

We had it coming
It got too hard to ignore
We both saw it coming
Just couldn’t make it any more

But you’re still the one I’m waiting for
When I get home you’re not there any more
And you’re still the one I dream about
But now I’ll learn how to do without

Wrapped up so tight, the tension was too much
Oh but there will be times when all I think about’s your touch
I won’t avert my eyes if I see you in the streetlight
But am I wise enough to keep my crying inside

We had it coming
It got too hard to ignore
We both saw it coming
Just couldn’t make it any more

But you’re still the one I’m waiting for
When I get home you’re not there any more
And you’re still the one I dream about
But now I’ll learn how to do without

I didn’t sleep
I couldn’t think
Of anything but you and me and how we’ll never be
But possibly
We could try and see
Til then I’ll keep this all buried underneath

And you’re still the one I’m waiting for
When I get home you’re not there any more
And you’re still the one I dream about
But now I’ll learn how to do without
