lyrics

Darling I know you have a plan for me
I haven’t behaved quite well as you’d like me to
Don’t let it deter the fact of what you did wrong
It wasn’t an act of my own decision

Did you feel it too? Can I count on you?
As I saw you look in my direction
Call me broke inside, now darling don’t you lie
I know you play the game deception
What can I do to get through to you?
I try to break down the barrier
Can I ask you why you let love die?
I cannot bear my own reflection

Baby don’t go, it hasn’t been that bad
Let’s go back to the start and remember what we used to have
I feel it, the shortness of breath as you draw near
I’m torn, I’m falling, I’m breaking down

Did you feel it too? Can I count on you?
As I saw you look in my direction
Call me broke inside, now darling don’t you lie
I know you play the game deception
What can I do to get through to you?
I try to break down the barrier
Can I ask you why you let love die?
I cannot bear my own reflection
