Tryin' hard to leave you in the past
Didn't think you'd leave me quite this fast
Pretend for all your friends like you don't know me
But always seemed to want me to leave slowly
Not in the habit of backwards glances
I know it's tragic but it's true
Know what I'm asking but if there's a chance then
Stayin' silent is not worth losing you
You can lead a man to wisdom but you cannot make him think
You can try to reason with him but you'll make your own heart sink
Well that's just fine
That's how it is
There's light beyond the tunnel
I just have to follow it
And if one day we catch each other by surprise
I wonder if you'll say that you still love my eyes
You're not in the habit of giving second chances
It may not happen but something in me believes you will
Know what I'm asking for and I don't care
Hope lives on inside of me
The kind I cannot kill
