the city sleeps   so silently   wish I could say the same for me   but I’ve got this dead ended street   to keep searching      for a tunnel underneath the bitter truth   or a bridge invisible I won’t fall through      and I don’t know how much I can keep   letting you unravel me   cause the more you learn the more we share, and   we were worlds apart and you see   it was so much easier to be   cause now I know what we can’t have and it’s so unfair      I never meant   most of those pretty words I said, oh   but I wanted you to think I did   cause telling you all this makes no difference, oh no   it’s useless      cause those who get to know our hearts the most,   they always seem to be the ones we’ll never hold   and I don’t know how much I can keep   letting you unravel me   cause the more you learn the more we share, and   we were worlds apart and you see   it was so much easier to be   cause now I know what we can’t have and it’s so unfair      can’t you see it’s destroying me?   I can’t stand the closeness   but don’t you dare go avoiding me   it kills me and yet it keeps me going      and I don’t know how much I can keep   letting you unravel me   cause the more you learn the more we share,    we were worlds apart and you see   it was so much easier to be   cause now I know what we can’t have and it’s so unfair
