I look in your eyes sadly
And see the hope shine as bright as the stars
Without you muttering a word
I see what is inscribed upon your heart.
I hate to be the murderer,
To quench the fire that burns within you
But I can't stay in this cage
When there's no love to pull me through.

I know we've had good times
But they're always outweighed by the bad
It cuts me to the core to know
I'm walking away from the best love I've had
But all we seem to do is fight
And break our hearts that little bit more,
Why do we keep holding on
When we both know love is out the door?

I know you're on bended knee
And begging me to give you one more chance
But I can't keep trying,
Battling against a loveless romance.
I don't want to give in to you,
To give you my heart and see you tear it up,
I don't want to keep holding on
When you make it so damn tough.

I can't say it doesn't hurt
To walk away from the dreams we've made,
To watch them fly away like black doves
Never standing a chance of being saved
But I don't want to keep trying
When it's so obvious all the love is gone,
When all I do is hurt
Because this whole situation is wrong.
