So why should I take your hand   When you can't promise happy endings?      It's starting to get old   That story that untold   Reflect before we walk into   What we already know   Won't be so easy   Looking back at high school drama   Didn't try to fix what we thought were problems   Done with writing empty letters   Is there no other way?      Staring at your reflection every day   Can make or break my heart away   When you won't listen to what's hard for me to say   Those tear stained eyes can make me feel so sad   And once again we're further away from what we never had      So why should I take your hand   When you can't promise happy endings?   Just run away with so much left to share   It's just not enough   When we're so much more than friends   We're much too young to throw away our cares      There's no sense in regretting what's been said in our yesterdays   We're getting backwards double    We can look ahead   And I would walk so much further just to know what I'm doing here   And there's no end to what I'd give   To know just what you meant when you said   How could I feel alive   When we can't help but break our backs just to survive?   Is this another time we can't control our lives?      Those tear stained eyes can make me feel so sad   And once again we're further away from what we never had      So why should I take your hand   When you can't promise happy endings?   Just run away with so much left to share   It's just not enough   When we're so much more than friends   We're much too young to throw away our cares      How could I feel alive    When we can't help but break our backs just to survive?   Is this another time we can't control our lives?      Those tear stained eyes can make me feel so sad   And once again we're further away from what we never had      So why should I take your hand    When you can't promise happy endings?   Just run away with so much left to share   It's just not enough   When we're so much more than friends   We're much too young to throw away our cares
