Lyrics
OVER
V1
Count down to the bitter end
Try to put it out of your mind
Find out what time can mend
And what dreams you should leave behind
Ooh if it wasn't over we could still try
Ooh if it wasn't over...I wouldn't be
CHORUS
Setting my sights so low
Receiving the serious signs I know
You know I've been crying my heart out so
I can let it go
V2
The truth hurts and it cuts like a blade
Carving a swathe through your heart
And no words can soothe the pain
Or change the inevitable path
Ooh if it wasn't over, would it be so hard?
Ooh if it wasn't over..I wouldn't be
REPEAT CHORUS
RAP
The signals, the signs, in the corner of my mind
Can't escape, can't ignore, nothing less, something more
The danger, the threat, the resign, the regret
The release, the return, another struggle, another yearn
The twisted, the perverse, common roles in reverse
Something slight, something severe, a new chance, a new fear
The struggle, the calm, the emptiness in harm
Denial, resistance, acknowledge, acceptance
Oh yeah - if it wasn't over
Ooh if it wasn't over
REPEAT CHORUS
