Intro
(after lead-in trem from Anna)
x4
How can I explain to you
The picture of this avenue?
The rain falls on the street outside
My window on this Thursday afternoon
I sit alone inside
These sinful walls I've lived inside
So many lies Ive lived and died
None so much as the one Ive lived with you.
I see you on the highway
A thousand miles away
Rain falls through your hair and cheeks
Tears and mascara streaks
Your face reflected in the glass
Lines in the pavement go past
Just like the lines around your eyes
That held the weight of all these sad goodbyes
Interlude
x 4
(I think the last time is Bm G D A...)
Everybody that I know
Tell me just to let it go
You run from everything, they say
Hurt the ones you love blindly
But here I sit and picture you
With fingers worn, your shirt torn through
Your heart's so big and broke in two
Your mind drifting through all you knew
Afraid to love, afraid to lose
Afraid to start, afraid to choose
Afraid to live, afraid to die
Afraid to let you days slip by
Afraid youll change or stay the same
Afraid well lose ourselves again
Afraid of the truth that love
Could cause you so much pain
I know
I felt it, too
I know, I know
Darlin, I wish it wasn't true.
