This only works because we both know it will never work out   So we pretend that it's not the end and we talk about   All of the days when we'll be together, we lie to ourselves because anything's better    Than what we have right now because I don't have anything      And I know that you'll go on forget about me   And I'll try to get by but there's no gaurentee   On things like these- the things that bring us to our knees      CHORUS:   Let's go back to the start to where it began   When you took my heart in the palm of your hand   But you took it away and now all that's left   Is this empty space in the heart of my chest      This only lasts because we both know it will never last long   So we keep alive all of the lies that we both know are wrong   But it's alright if it helps us fall asleep at night   But in the end we're both sleeping all alone again      CHORUS      And I know this is not enough, nothing is what we both dreamed of   When we dreamed and planned our lives out on the basement couch   It wasn't us      CHORUS
