there was the coldest silence in your eyes
somehow i knew this was worse than you saying goodbye
i could read the pain you tried so hard to hide from me
i don't know why you think i'm so blind i can't see
i never thought something could hurt worse than you leaving
but there's this agony i just can't believe it
you are free to walk right out of my life
i won't stop you there's nothing about me and you that's going right
i'm trying not to think about the lie i told you
i knew you would forgive me that's just you
i waited all night to hear the anger in your voice
to tell me i had to make some sort of unfair choice
them or you, the drugs or our love
somehow i knew that it wouldn't be enough
you wouldn't ask me to choose and won't just walk away
not when you promised me you would always stay
the yearning to make you smile the hatred of tears you will not cry
i'm sure you can see the self-misery reflected in my eyes
i don't know why you won't let me go, my games must be getting old
we have a love that's grown so cold
there is the emptiest emotions in your words
and forgivness is when it hurts the most, when it makes everything worse
