Sleepless nights and restless hearts, sad enough's the price you pay to spend your whole life chasing one desire much too strong to fade.
And you can't help but get obsessed. You tell yourself this must be real. And nothing else could ever be, 'cause nothing else could ever feel quite as right or half as good as this girl has proved to be.
The way she settled in my chest was so much more than fine with me.
But what I didn't know was that to get her right I'd need a key. I swore I held one in my hands but it must not be the one I need.
Then suddenly a feeling grows and you know something must be wrong
'Cause nothing good has ever come from welling eyes and sighing lungs.
She said "Now this is gonna hurt. I'm sorry for the things I've done. But I know you've been here before, so I think you should be the one."
And she was right, I've known this place. But still it stings like it's the first time I let my hopes get high,
just to fall back down to earth.
