lyrics

I see you
You're facing the wind
I know what it feels like
To never win

These dreams I dream
These songs I sing
They're a bittersweet symphony
Written just for you

You anguish these cries
Another truth in a world full of lies
And I think about the world
and how it moves
There's not enough leverage
To love what would do

I feel like our love is on fire
And I don't want this to end
I know it's rough for the meantime
You just smile throughout bad through the end

Everyday lives are worn
Beyond repair beyond despair
We don't like to lose the ones we love
But eventually they don't care

These days of our lives
We waste away with no good advice
And the reason we don't have a clue
Because we can't let go
To bring in the new

And I know it's true
What this world has done to you
I see your eyes
They bring me painful lies

I feel like our love is on fire
And I don't want this to end
I know it's rough for the meantime
You just smile throughout bad through the end
