Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
don't look this way love, please.
just let my heart, let it go.
it took me back to that day
you turned and walked away
and said its supposed to be this way
i thought I'd be okay cause it was all the same
i guess our story is ending here
my pen could only write your name
you were filling every page, so fast.
then we fell and died away,
it's not supposed to be this way
I'm so far from okay, if its all the same then its just you that's okay.
i saw you crying in the street
don't do this now love, please.
we've been here so many times before
it took me back to that day
i turned and walked away and said
it's supposed to be this way, i thought i'd be okay
cause it was all the same, i guess our story is ending here
take me back to that day, I'd make it all okay
i don't know what to say
i didn't know you felt that way,
my lips could only say our name you were filling every phrase, so fast the we fell and died away
