Lyrics

It feels a lifetime, since I felt your arms around me.
I grieve the last time you showed me anything at all
Now I'm giving you the chance to thaw your heart
You know I'd die for you, but to live with you's so hard.

This thing between us, it kills me to believe
Love sings and thrills us, then brings us to our knees.

It'd mean so much to me, to know you're thinking of me
yet still I fail to see, you even notice me
and all this time I doubt you really cared for who we are.
I try to stand by you but it's tearing us apart.

tell me please, what is going on.
