Once again I'm gearing up to tell you that I'm sorry,
For all the times I've ever let you down.
I've thought of stories long and wild, none of them are true,
To try to break the silence that I've found.
Blurry eyed I slur and maybe tell my friends I'm lonely,
But that's OK 'cause they're all lonely too.
I wish I had the words to put down these feelings that I keep,
I guess another drink will have to do.
But I know I'm just too far gone,
For anyone like you.
There's a certain kind of sadness when words are never spoke,
Lucky that I'm smiling all the time.
There's a certain kind of loneliness when all you do is choke,
Lucky for me I'm talking all the time.
I'll never cross that line.
I'm colder now than ever since the door was sealed shut,
The one with all the gaps around the sides.
I'm warmed and I'm even less lonely than I was,
Still my heart is blue and I don't know why.
But I know I'm just too far gone,
For anyone like you.
Maybe if I just got lost,
You would be renewed.
There's a certain kind of sadness when words are never spoke,
Lucky that I'm smiling all the time.
There's a certain kind of loneliness when all you do is choke,
Lucky for me I'm talking all the time.
I'll never cross that line.
But I know I'm just too far gone,
For anyone like you.
Maybe if I just got lost,
You would be renewed.
