Is this how it's going to be   These expectations laid in front of me   Holds me down, then sets me free   Is this how it's going to start   With this emptiness inside my heart   Over time pulls me apart      Don't break this thread   It's all I have of you   Don't break this thread   It's all that I hold onto      This is what's in my head   This is how I feel about you   This is what's in my head   And this is what I do      Is this how it's going to end   With so many letters left to send   It's not enough just to pretend   Is this all I have left   I'll never forget you   I sat with you as we looked out on the water   And I knew it was right      Don't break this thread   It's all I have of you   By this string I've been led   It's all that I hold onto      This is what's in my head   This is how I feel about you   This is what's in my head   And this is what I do      -      I still remember that morning when the sunlight hit your eyes   I know I made you feel guilty, but I never made you cry   I know you don't believe me when I tell you the truth   And I know you look right through me when I'm looking through to you   I'm never going to realize, I'm never going to understand   I'm always going to be a boy, I'm never going to be a man   I held you in my arms, and I swore I'd never leave   I just hope that you were listening and I hope that you believe me
