It was never a part of the plan to have nothing to say

To be so far away while in the same room

Avoiding your gaze at the end of the day

It's an ugly display I'm ashamed of

To say, to say, to say the least

(A passionless dance, a flagging romance)

I can't, I can’t, I can’t compete

(It's beyond my control, I don't know how to hold on)

We're longing for the old days

We wish for what we had before

Seeing halcyon days, haunting leading astray

There is nothing I would take back anyway

It was always a risk worth taking

To jump feet first with closed eyes

No mistakes, no missteps, no misfires

I wouldn't make another time

To say, to say, to say the least

(A passionless dance, a flagging romance)

I’m in, I’m in, I’m incomplete

(It's beyond my control, I don't know how to hold on)

There’s a story here, that’s better left untold

Keep my cards to my chest, something I’ll keep ’til I’m old

He left you standing there, when he turned his back

Turned a blank-faced stare, into something that lacked

The look of serenity, that you always had

You two thought you were the most perfect match

Until the man that needs the most intimate touch

Put his hands on her and betrayed her trust

(You know it’s no secret)

We're longing for the old days

We pine for what we never had

The glory's just a mirage, looming constantly large

Should have known that we were doomed right from the start

Nobody can ever leave here unbroken

I (you) know that my thoughts will remain unspoken
