Lately I see clouds of sorrow in your eyes

Some deep sadness you can never quite disguise

Now I'm scared to ask what it's leading to

But I'm more afraid of not asking you

 

Is there something that you want to tell me

Is there something that I ought to know

Are we something that's still worth fighting for

Or should I simply let you go

Is there something I can do to reach you

Are we something more than history

I'll find some way to convince you to stay

If you just tell me honestly

Is there something left of you and me

 

You've got secrets you've been keeping for too long

And I'm going crazy acting like there's nothing wrong

I can taste the truth every time we kiss

And I can't go on

At least not like this

 

I don't want to lose you

But what's the use of holding on

I don't really have you

If the feeling's gone

 

Is there something I can do to reach you

Are we something more than history

If there's no way to convince you to stay

And be the way we used to be

Then there's something that I want to tell you

And I want you to believe it's true

We had something that I'll never forget

Even if I wanted to

'Cause part of me will always be with you.
