Lyrics

I keep thinking it'll come from somewhere
but where that is I just don't know
I've been in this for so long
trying to prove my heart was wrong
that this is where I wanted it to go

I keep telling myself that I'm leaving
that we were never meant to be
(then) I see the stars in your eyes
and all the million goodbyes
just fade away right in front of- me

If this is what love is, baby...

set me free
rip the ground from underneath me
lock the doors and shut the lights
don't even try and say goodbye

'cause I am weak
I cannot bear to see you pleading
or watch you crumble down and break
and wipe the tears from your face

I'd rather you take me by surprise
than see that look in your eyes

You hid your heart like the perfect secret
Left unknown for all your life
When I came around
your feet left the ground
And your mouth opened wide

Oh, some secrets should just stay inside...

set me free
rip the ground from underneath me
lock the doors and shut the lights
don't even try and say goodbye

'cause I am weak
I cannot bear to see you pleading
or watch you crumble down and break
and wipe the tears from your face

I'd rather you take me by surprise
than see that look in your eyes

I've been on both sides of the ending
I've seen the darkest parts of me
And I won't let my past repeat

set me free
rip the ground from underneath me
lock the doors and shut the lights
don't even try and say goodbye

'cause I am weak
I cannot bear to see you pleading
or watch you crumble down and break
and wipe the tears from your face

I'd rather you take me by surprise
than see that look in your eyes
