Lyrics
You’re passed out on the couch again
I’m finding it hard to even call you a friend
I don’t know how we ended up like this
When all I wanted was your love and a
simple kiss
All our memories
Down a rushing stream
In my mind
They float on by
I don’t have the strength to lie
Like a child I hide
This is not who I wanted to be
This is not the future I dreamt I would see
I live my life with hope and wonder
Though I may fail and blunder
I deserve love
I deserve love
But this is not love
So, never mind the bruises
They can heal
Be concerned for my heart
It’s the thing that I cannot feel
I know it’s racing
But, I can’t seem to make it stop
I wish that we could start again
And turn back our clock
‘Cause you were my rock
But when we fight
Your fists
Talk
I don’t have the strength to lie
Like a child I cry
This is not who I wanted to be
This is not the future I dreamt I would see
I live my life with hope and wonder
Though I may fail and blunder
I deserve love
I deserve love
But this is not love
It doesn’t make you the bad guy
It doesn’t mean we didn’t try
I love you dear but this is breaking my heart
And letting go is the hardest place to start
I deserve love
I deserve love
But this is not love
Chorus
You’re passed out on the couch again
I’ll always love you
But this is
The End
