You know it's the same old story
That you're shouting in my ear
With time playing on fast-forward
Speeding up my biggest fear
Would you let me start again?
They'll show you where we went wrong
About a million times ten
Of every word in this song
That's how many times I'd say I'm sorry
If it'd make a difference-
As if we could change this story .
Is this the beginning of the end-
Or the finishing of the start?
Are you tearing me together-
Or are you gluing me apart?
Oh your silence speaks volumes-but do you read a word?
Cover lies up with perfumes-I know it sounds absurd
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I can't change your story.
This chapter's a battlefield-or does it take up the whole book?
It's hard to build up a shield-when you're enemies with a crook
Can you see how much this is killing me?
The best of both worlds was a fantasy
I guess it's only natural
This scene replays in my head
Oh how I wish it to be factual
[But] This Love's as alive as the dead
Does it help to say I'm sorry?
Would you help me switch my story?
'Cause this chapter's playing on repeat
Goodbye and Love should never meet
And now I can't tell ..
Is this the beginning of the end-
Or the finishing of the start?
Are you tearing me together-
Or are you gluing me apart?
Permanently-or just once more
Could you switch silence with laughter?
To create some reality
In our Happy Ever After.
