How can I explain to you the picture of this avenue?
The rain falls on the street outside my window on this Tuesday afternoon
I sit alone inside these same four walls I've lived inside
So many lives I've lived and died; none so much as the one I lived with you
I see you on the highway a thousand miles away
Rain falls through your hair and cheeks
Tears and mascara streaks
Your face reflected in the gla**
Lines in the pavement go past just like the lines around your eyes that held the weight of all these sad goodbyes
Everybody that I know thinks that I should just let you go
You run from everything, they say
Hurt the ones you love like me
But here I sit and picture you your fingers worn, your shirt torn through
A heart so big it broke in two
Your mind drifting through all you knew
Afraid to love; afraid to lose;
Afraid to start; afraid to choose;
Afraid to live; afraid to die;
Afraid to let these days slip by;
Afraid to change or stay the same;
Afraid to lose yourself again;
Afraid of this truth that love could cause you so much pain
I know
I felt it, too
I know
I know
Sweetheart, I wish it wasn't true
