(And I hope.. and I hope..) I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round. And now I think that I've got it all down. And as I say it louder, I love how it sounds. 'Cause I'm not taking the easy way out. Not wrappin' this in ribbons. Shouldn't have to give a reason why
"Why are we breaking up?" Chuck asked, finally.
"I shouldn't have to give a reason, it's over." I snapped.
"But why?"
It's no surprise. I won't be here tomorrow. I can't believe that I stayed 'til today. Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow. But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
It came out like a river, once I let it out. When I thought that I wouldn't know how. Held onto it forever, just pushing it down. It felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons. Shouldn't have to give a reason why. It's no surprise. I won't be here tomorrow, I can't believe that I stayed 'til today. There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow. There's nothing here in this soul left to save. Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow. God knows we tried to find an easier way. Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow. But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
It hurt, really, it did, but I couldn't continue this relationship anymore. Either the other Burners would find out, or Chuck and I would break up,a nd never speak to eachother again. It was best to just end it here.
Our favorite place we used to go. The warm embrace that no one knows. The lovin' look that's left your eyes. That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
It hurt even more to have to drive past all the places I loved to take Chuck to, or to have to look him in the eyes, and seen the pure hatred that burned in them. Some nights, I swear I still saw a loving look in them, but I knew I was just lying to myself.
If I could see the future and how this plays out. I bet it's better than where we are now. But after going through this It's easier to see the reason why. It's no surprise.. I won't be here tomorrow. I can't believe that I stayed 'til today (stayed 'til today). Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow. But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
I thought it would be easy for Chuck to see why I had to end it, but the linger the week dragged on, I realised I was the one having trouble figuring out my own reasons.
The kiss goodnight, it comes with me. Both wrong and right, our memories (our memories). The whispering before we sleep, Just one more thing that you can't keep (you can't keep).
I guess you could say I took everything with me when we broke up. Chuck didn't want any part of me, and quite frankly, I don't blame him.
Our favorite place we used to go. The warm embrace that no one knows. The lovin' look that's left your eyes. But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise. (And I hope, and I hope, and I hope, and I hope, and I hope.)
I hope so much that things work themselves out, but it was taking too damn long. I would need to fix this myself.
