Intro

Intro

I tried my best to get over you

Kept my distance so I wouldn't have to show

That the things which I kept hidden by my casual smile

Were the things that I needed you to know

You could have seen the acting on the stage

You might have read the writing on the page

You could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two

But you never knew it was I was falling for

you [intro chords]

Sometimes I still think that I could get to you

Then I laugh, think I could swim the seven seas

It seems when I am set to fly, there's a storm up in the sky

When I'm set to sail, there isn't any breeze

You could have seen the acting on the stage

You might have read the writing on the page

You could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two

But you never knew that it was I was falling for you

Guitar solo

same chords as a verse]

It's been some time now when I saw you in a photograph

Looking just the way you did so long ago

And I could almost see you throw your head back and start to laugh

In that gentle way you used to let me know

Things were okay, and a hurting song is just a cliche

And what's the use if they only always fade away

Just like the sun, just like everyone but

you.
