What good is the beauty of a sunset
If it's nothing you can grasp?
Years spent building up these walls
That are crumbling so fast
Strike a match
Ignite a flame
And hope that I forget your name
You're next to me
And all I see
Is everything I want to be
And I would give up everything
To be freed of this curse
I can't imagine any way
That my life could get any worse
You're so confused
It's hard to choose
But I have so much more to lose
And I wish that I'd never met you
You can never love me the way that I love you
It's excruciating torture for me
To have to push you away
When all I've ever wanted
Was to beg you to stay
Fire burns
And I have learned
That nothing good comes in return
You're next to me
And all I see
Is everything I'd die to be
And I would give up everything
To be freed of this curse
I can't imagine any way
That my life could get any worse
You're so confused
It's hard to choose
But I have so much more to lose
And I wish that I'd never met you
You can never love me the way that I love you
How can something that's so close
Feel infinitely far away?
How has loving you become
A greater challenge every day?
If you were close enough to hold
If I could erase all I'd been told
If you were close enough to stay
I'd never again push you away
And I would give up everything
To be freed of this curse
I can't imagine any way
That my life could get any worse
You're so confused
It's hard to choose
But I have so much more to lose
And I wish that I'd never met you
You can never love me the way that I love you
