Lyrics
As I sit here in Seattle, one of a thousand rainy days
My heart begins the battle over you leaving for L.A.
You say that you will not forget me,
You say I'm staying in your heart
I've come as far as you can let me,
Now it's best we be apart
You say you want to be an actress,
You say you want to be a star
You're looking for champagne and sequins,
But that's not who you are.
I think you're scared of some commitment
I think you're scared of what you'll find
I think you hear your friends all whisper
"Aren't they just two of a kind"äWhy
Well I won't let you leave here,
Let you leave without a fight
This time I won't just take it,
I guess you thought I might
At night when I'm not sleeping
I see your pillow in my bed
And know if I don't die trying
I'll die missing you instead
On the day that I first met you
I saw forever in your eyes
Ain't it funny how "forever"
Turns that look into a lie
I thought we shared a history
We had written down in stone
It just crumbles down to gravel
If I'm reading it alone. No. CHORUS
Bridge:
The moment your light leaves me I'll be a shadow of a man
I can't walk away from love. Apparently you can.
CHORUS
