Lyrics

Seems like so long that I really looked at you
Seems I was wrong again and again I know
You never let it go but

Ch
Oh don't you see, you and me
I have been lying here
Oh all the years, all the tears
There's no need for crying now
You can stop trying now

I'm standing here waiting for you to look at me
You seem so near
Please look me in the eye and tell me the reason why

Ch
Oh don't you see, you and me
I have been lying here
Oh all the years, all the tears
There's no need for crying now
You can stop trying now

We can stop lying now
You can stop pretending we're ok
I can stop remembering yesterday
We can save ourselves all this pain

There's no fight left inside
I don't want you to look at me
Time to decide
Don't think back to what went wrong
I know we don't belong anymore but

Ch
Oh don't you see, you and me
I have been lying here
Oh all the years, all the tears
We can stop crying now
You can stop trying now
We can stop lying
We can stop trying now
