Can't you see my tear-stained face
I've been trying hard to
Completely erase
Every memory of you
From my heart
But it's harder than I ever thought
It's just that
It's so hard to see myself
Without you
I've been trying to convince myself
Everything's not true
It hurts real badly now to know
That I really let you go
I just felt so closed in
Like I was drowning in my life
I thought you were the one to close them
But you really opened my eyes
And now I'm stuck here
Curled up with two sweaters on
Because my heart is so cold
Knowing I should throw away
Our love, it's just so old
But, you're amazing, and stuck
In my heart and my head
I lie down at night wishing
You were next to me in bed
And I love you, I know this now
I never thought I'd be able
To say these words to you
I want to start living again
But not if living means
Saying goodbye to you
Boy, please believe me this time
I'm through saying everything's a lie
Because you were the one thing
I know is true
Look into my tear-stained face
And say you can't believe me
I'm asking for just one look
Because I know you'd see
The beginning of your life
Starts with me
So, just look into my tear-stained face
And tell me, baby, this isn't the case
