Don't hold me like that
So tight I can't breathe
I know what you want
Can't you see what I need?
You have to let go
Though you want me to stay
When you hold me like that
All you do, is push me away
It's never enough
I miss you too much
I hold you for a day
but then burn for your touch
The hours you're away
Are scraping me raw
I don't understand
What I'm doing so wrong
There's a dream I have
You and me down by the river
Painted gold in the sunlight
And everything's all right
Someday
We'll feel love without darkness
We'll sleep when the sun sets
And we'll stop writing the same songs over and over again
So I am the ghost
Of your memory, your past
I am the reason
Why you'll never last
I am the person you thought that you knew
I am the dream that went spoiled and never came true
This is our story
This is our curse
This is what's better
And this is what's worse
This is what's right
And this is what's wrong
This is a home for a heart, where it can not belong
There's a dream I have
You and me down by the river
Painted gold in the sunlight
And everything's all right
Someday
We'll feel love without darkness
We'll sleep when the sun sets
And we'll stop writing the same songs over and over again
So tight I can't breathe
I know what you want
Can't you see what I need?
You have to let go
Though you want me to stay
When you hold me like that
All you do, is push me away
It's never enough
I miss you too much
I hold you for a day
but then burn for your touch
The hours you're away
Are scraping me raw
I don't understand
What I'm doing so wrong
There's a dream I have
You and me down by the river
Painted gold in the sunlight
And everything's all right
Someday
We'll feel love without darkness
We'll sleep when the sun sets
And we'll stop writing the same songs over and over again
So I am the ghost
Of your memory, your past
I am the reason
Why you'll never last
I am the person you thought that you knew
I am the dream that went spoiled and never came true
This is our story
This is our curse
This is what's better
And this is what's worse
This is what's right
And this is what's wrong
