It was never a part of the plan to have nothing to say
To be so far away while in the same room
Avoiding your gaze at the end of the day
It's an ugly display I'm ashamed of
To say, to say, to say the least
(A passionless dance, a flagging romance)
I can't, I can’t, I can’t compete
(It's beyond my control, I don't know how to hold on)
We're longing for the old days
We wish for what we had before
Seeing halcyon days, haunting leading astray
There is nothing I would take back anyway
It was always a risk worth taking
To jump feet first with closed eyes
No mistakes, no missteps, no misfires
I wouldn't make another time
To say, to say, to say the least
(A passionless dance, a flagging romance)
I’m in, I’m in, I’m incomplete
(It's beyond my control, I don't know how to hold on)
There’s a story here, that’s better left untold
Keep my cards to my chest, something I’ll keep ’til I’m old
He left you standing there, when he turned his back
Turned a blank-faced stare, into something that lacked
The look of serenity, that you always had
You two thought you were the most perfect match
Until the man that needs the most intimate touch
Put his hands on her and betrayed your trust
(You know it’s no secret)
We're longing for the old days
We pine for what we never had
The glory's just a mirage, looming constantly large
Should have known that we were doomed right from the start
Nobody can ever leave here unbroken
I (you) know that my thoughts will remain unspoken
