Thoughts Before Me

So why should I take your hand
 When you can't promise happy endings?
 ♪
 It's starting to get old
 That story yet 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
