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 you're light-years 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 I'm the compromise No, I can't take another Slow goodbye Sitting in the park after dark Smoking cigarettes Biting on the black of my nails Cuz all I ever wanted was what you took away from me Trying 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 I'm the compromise No, I can't take another Slow goodbye I die A million times Every time when you Look me in the eye And lie Cause I've heard it all before The same game We go around and around But I still end up with nothing But hurting 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 I'm the compromise No, I can't take another Slow goodbye Yeah There's nothing I can do I can't make you love me When you don't I see it in your eyes I'm the compromise I can't take another Slow goodbye
