Slow Goodbye Lyrics



I can read the lines

On your face

And they're telling me

Everything I already know

Yeah



I hold you in my arms

But you're light-years away from me

Slowly sinking

Under alone

Yeah



So I act cool

On the outside

But it's eating me

Alive



Cause when it comes to you

There's nothing I can do

I can't make you love me

When you don't

I see it in your eyes

I'm the compromise

No, I can't take another

Slow goodbye



Sitting in the park after dark

Smoking cigarettes

Biting on the black of my nails

Cuz all I ever wanted was what you took away from me

Trying to make it right but it's too late



I'm a hopeless case

On the inside

And it's eating me

Alive



Cause when it comes to you

There's nothing I can do

I can't make you love me

When you don't

I see it in your eyes

I'm the compromise

No, I can't take another

Slow goodbye



I die

A million times

Every time when you

Look me in the eye

And lie

Cause I've heard it all before

The same game

We go around and around

But I still end up with nothing

But hurting



Cause when it comes to you

There's nothing I can do

I can't make you love me

When you don't

I see it in your eyes

I'm the compromise

No, I can't take another

Slow goodbye

Yeah



There's nothing I can do

I can't make you love me

When you don't

I see it in your eyes

I'm the compromise

I can't take another

Slow goodbye
