Lyrics
I am in love with the idea of us
But both of us know it's just not enough
We ignited a spark, but we let it burn out
Now we're lost in the dark and love's running out
And darling now
I can't be there to hold you 'cause I'd never let go
We are two different souls imprisoned in love
I can't breathe the air, it's so sweet and warm, yet bitter and cold
My heart is in knots, you've got me all twisted
I'm tied to a love that's too heavy to hold
We put up a fight
With so much to lose but no reason to try, there's nothing left to prove
But now that you're gone, I miss you in my life
And all that I want is to go back in time
When you were still mine 'cause now
I can't be there to hold you 'cause I'd never let go
We are two different souls imprisoned in love
I can't breathe the air, it's so sweet and warm, yet bitter and cold
My heart is in knots, you've got me all twisted
I'm tied to a love that's falling down
I know I have to let go
But I just want to let this rope pull until I can swim us to shore
But this love is too heavy to hold
I'm sorry that there's nothing left to fight for
I'm sorry that I let you down
I'll hold on to the memories of the good time
And maybe I will see you around
So goodbye for now
