VERSE 1:
I don't want to lose you
But I'd rather lose you than never see you again
I can't stand to lose you
But I'd rather lose our love than lose a friend
VERSE 2:
I don't want to lose you but what can I do
If I don't know what you need?
I can't stand to lose you
I don't want to make do
So with flawless form I'll misread
The situation
CHORUS:
I'm so close
But I feel so far away
I thought this was what you wanted
Was I wrong all along?
VERSE 3:
I don't want to lose you
But I'd rather lose you than hurt you being a friend
You're seeming distant
Or have I missed it?
Our chance to be more than friends
Should I keep trying?
BRIDGE 1:
Is it me or you keeping the distance
BRIDGE 2:
Is it me or you? I need some answers
Is it me or you? Keeping this distance?
COUNTER BRIDGE:
We had so much promise, didn't we?
We had so much ahead of us!
OUTRO:
Did I misread this the way I always seem to do?
Am I missing out, or am I really missing you?
Just can't work it out, after the things we've all been through
Did I miss my mark? Is it too late for me and you?
Oh! For me and you
Did I miss my mark?
Did I miss my mark?
The way I always do!

VERSE 1:
I miss the way you stood up for me
When I could not stand up for myself
CHORUS:
With nothing to hold me back
Nothing to hold onto
Nothing in all the world
No one could be my "you"
VERSE 2:
You were the strength that made me who I am
Now you're gone and you're not coming back
BRIDGE:
If there was a moment, I guess we missed it
ALTERNATE CHORUS:
There's nothing that I want more
Nothing that I'd cling to
No one in all the world
No one could replace you
And when I remember this
I will remember you
Hold you inside my heart
That is what I will do

VERSE 1:
So lets talk about our feelings in a real familiar way
And make each other promises we both will break some day
You know I love you and I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you
Now that is something that I won't ever get to do
PRE CHORUS 1:
Forgetting sucks but so does knowing how much I was loved
You had a life and chose to give it up
I won't let them win, by forgetting
CHORUS:
Daylight doesn't feel as right as it did when you were standing beside me (here)
Nothing ever feels as right as it did when you were standing beside me here, yeah
Beside me here, yeah
Someone, somewhere tell me she's fine
I need to say a better goodbye
VERSE 2:
So lets talk about these feelings and pretend they'll go away
And keep on kidding everyone cause they are here to stay
Pretend I haven't really lost you we're just separately placed
I haven't really lost you and it wasn't all a waste
PRE CHORUS 2:
It hurts my head but knowing changes everything you said
And now it adds more guilt to the regret
Can't let them win
No I can't let them

Expect A Miracle

|
VERSE 1:
Take your picture to the forest
Take a minute for myself
Maybe cry if I am honest
Now it's you and no one else
Now I'm standing at the crossroads
Who I was before we met
Who I am now I am stronger
There is no way to forget
CHORUS:
I look at you and whisper softly
Just come back to me, I look at you
Could I expect a miracle?
I look at you and whisper softly
Just come back to me, I look at you
But nothing happens, no nothing happens
VERSE 2:
Fold your picture in my pocket
I won't let you fade away
Though there's no way I could stop it
I will keep on being brave
Take your picture to the forest
Maybe reminisce the past
How the minutes turn to hours
But they never seem to last
VERSE 3:
Melt your armour down to armour
So I carry you around
When the weight weighs down much harder
I will never make a sound
It takes courage to continue
It takes bravery to survive
It takes everything I am to
Look into those big green eyes

Chase Your Love

|
VERSE 1:
I never loved you but I adore you
I never heard you until you told me
And now it's too late for me to say it back
Our hands are shaking
VERSE 2:
I'm gonna do this to make you proud of me
You taught me so much, now it's my destiny
I'm reaching for you safe in the certainty
But I'm still shaking
CHORUS:
Chase your love
Not gonna stop until I
Catch up...
OUTRO VERSE:
I never loved you but I adore you
And it was so hard for me to lose you
You never heard me because my words failed
My body's shaking, my body's shaking
