(verse1)
How do you say "I'm sorry" without crying?
How can I sit here bleeding and not be dying?
(Pre-Chorus1)
No matter how much I want to
I just can't seem to run away
No matter how much I miss you
can't stand to see you everyday
(Chorus)
It's killing me...
and I can't breathe...
Slowly you're breaking me down
I don't know if that's good
You say 'yes', that I'm opening up,
but I don't know if I should
'cause opening Pandora's box
was never the best of plans
Wish you'd just leave me to rot
just like all the rest
(Verse2)
My defenses are shot
Pain was all I had
Said I love you then forgot
that I'd have to feel again
(Pre-Chorus2)
Maybe if you leave
I can keep pretending
So just let me be
with my fake happy ending
(Chorus)
(Bridge--three parts sang overlapping in sort of a round)
1-You can't see me, if I close my eyes and then I dream of flying through the skies
2-Just like all, just like all, just like all the rest...
3-You're killing me..
(Outro)
How do you say "I'm sorry" without crying?
How do you say "I'm leaving, I'm gone, I'm flying back home"?
How do you say "I'm sorry" without crying?
How can I sit here bleeding and not be dying?
(Pre-Chorus1)
No matter how much I want to
I just can't seem to run away
No matter how much I miss you
can't stand to see you everyday
(Chorus)
It's killing me...
and I can't breathe...
Slowly you're breaking me down
I don't know if that's good
You say 'yes', that I'm opening up,
but I don't know if I should
'cause opening Pandora's box
was never the best of plans
Wish you'd just leave me to rot
just like all the rest
(Verse2)
My defenses are shot
Pain was all I had
Said I love you then forgot
that I'd have to feel again
(Pre-Chorus2)
Maybe if you leave
I can keep pretending
So just let me be
with my fake happy ending
(Chorus)
(Bridge--three parts sang overlapping in sort of a round)
1-You can't see me, if I close my eyes and then I dream of flying through the skies
2-Just like all, just like all, just like all the rest...
3-You're killing me..
(Outro)
How do you say "I'm sorry" without crying?
How do you say "I'm leaving, I'm gone, I'm flying back home"?
Author notes
I play this song on guitar and recorded the piano to it...however I do not have a camera so I cannot record it. I am sorry for that because a song is supposed to have music...it's a song! lol but I cannot pull that off w/o a recorder. I apologize for that. hope you like it regardless!
