You can't lie to yourself
After loving something true
And I've never loved a soul
Quite the way that I loved you
Everything that I've become
Everything we're running from
I miss the way you followed
When you jaywalked in the street
How you always talked more trash
Than any boy bad mouthing me
And the way that the oak creaked
When you snuck up from my bed
The way that missing someone
Will have you seeing steady red
Take it slow as you leave me
Don't you go home this evening
With someone that you're acting like is me
And I will try my hardest, darling
Wait on a star that's falling
And I will wait so patiently
One thing I have quickly come to know
Nothing kills you slower than
Take it slow as you leave me
Don't you go home this evening
With someone that you're acting like is me
And I will try my hardest, darling
Wait on a star that's falling
And I will wait so desperately
One thing I have quickly come to know
Nothing kills you slower than
You can't lie to yourself
After loving something true
And I've never loved a soul
Quite the way that I loved you
Everything that I've become
All the things we're running from
Take it slow as you leave me
Don't you go home this evening
With someone that you're acting like is me
And I will try my hardest, darling
Wait on a star that's falling
And I will wait so desperately
One thing I have quickly come to know
Nothing kills you slower than
