So why should I take your hand when you can`t promise happy endings?

It`s starting to get old
That story that untold
Reflect before we walk into
What we already know
Won`t be so easy
Looking back at high school drama
Didn`t try to fix what we thought were problems
Someone`s writing empty letters
Is there no other way?

Staring at your reflection every day
Can make or break my heart away
When you won`t listen to what`s hard for me to say
Those tear stained eyes can make me feel so sad
And once again we`re further away from what we never had

So why should I take your hand when you can`t promise happy endings?
Just run away with so much left to share
It`s just not enough
When we`re so much more than friends
We`re much too young to throw away our cares

There`s no sense in regretting what`s been said in our yesterdays
We`re getting backwards double
We can look ahead
And I would walk so much further just to know what I`m doing here
And there`s no end to what I`d give to know just what you meant when you said
How can I feel alive when we can`t help but break our backs just to survive?
Is this another time we can`t control our lives?

Those tear stained eyes can make me feel so sad
And once again we`re further away from what we never had

So why should I take your hand when you can`t promise happy endings?
Just run away with so much left to share
It`s just not enough
When we`re so much more than friends
We`re much too young to throw away our cares

How can I feel alive when we can`t help but break our backs just to survive?
Is this another time we can`t control our lives?

Those tear stained eyes can make me feel so sad
And once again we`re further away from what we never had

So why should I take your hand when you can`t promise happy endings?
Just run away with so much left to share
It`s just not enough
When we`re so much more than friends
We`re much too young to throw away our cares
