Looking into those eyes
It seems like I'm the only one
Who ever tries to recognize the pain

If I can't be the one who stays
Please let her make it through the winding maze
To better days again


Chorus:
'Cause I cannot be together

I'm always torn apart
I'm afraid I'd have the same effect on her heart
And I can't be her forever

'Cause I'm not cast for the part
I'm pretty sure I've known it from the start


Listening to her talk
I wish that I could be someone
Who walks the walks and knows it's all okay

But I'll lie and swear that I don't mind
Why did I have to fall so far behind
Now I can't find the way


Chorus


And every now and then
It occurs to me I'm still in love
And I don't know what to do about it

Every now and then
I glimpse the smile that used to get me through
And realize that soon I've got to live without it


Looking into those eyes
I know I'm not the only one

Who told her lies and now the prize is pain
