How did I hold out for so long How did I keep it all inside Now everything I know was wrong And everything in me has died We used to dance amongst the stars And dream of days and places far To think that we once shared a heart And swore that we would never part But time is cruel and hearts will stray In time this all will fade away I count the losses, count the gain I see myself, I shake the blame And it's tearing me apart Yes it's tearing me apart God it's tearing me apart And it's tearing me apart
