I Could Be With You / Let Myself Believe

-o-o-o-

I tried to escape

From this messed up life

But it pulled me back in

And left me wondering why

-o-o-o-

You have to know how hard I tried

I'd do anything for you

But I can't erase the past

And there are things I have to do

-o-o-o-

Wasn't it nice for a little while?

I'm sorry I have to leave

But it was nice for a little while

Just to let myself believe

I could be with you

-o-o-o-

I'm trying to be a better man

But it's harder than I thought

I tried so hard to let the past go

But all these battles can't be fought

-o-o-o-

Wasn't it nice for a little while?

I'm sorry I have to leave

But it was nice for a little while

Just to let myself believe

I could be with you

-o-o-o-

I do what I have to do

And I try not to let it show

But the man that it makes me

Is not a man you want to know

-o-o-o-

Wasn't it nice for a little while?

I'm sorry I have to leave

But it was nice for a little while

Just to let myself believe

This was real

-o-o-o-

Bridge:

With so many absentees

You became my family

And I hate to leave

But I can't stick around

And drag you to the ground/And screw up what I found

Cos that's on me!/Cos you'll turn into me

-o-o-o-

Wasn't it nice for a little while?

I'm sorry I have to leave

But it was nice for a little while

Just to let myself believe

I could be with you

-o-o-o-

It was so good for a little while

But this life isn't where I belong

But it's okay, it'll all work out

You won't remember me for long …
