Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Games, changes and fears

When will they go from here

When will they stop

I believe that fate

Has brought us here

And we should be together, babe

But we're not

[Verse 2]

I play it off but

I'm dreaming of you

And I'll keep my cool

But I'm feeling

[Verse 3]

I try to say goodbye

And I choke

I try to walk away

And I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles

When you are not near

[Verse 4]

Goodbye and I choke

I try to walk away

And I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles

When you are not near

[Verse 5]

I may appear to be free

But I'm just a prisoner

Of your love

And I may seem all right

And smile when you leave

But my smiles are just a front

Just a front, oh

[Verse 6]

I play it off but

But I'm dreaming of you

And I keep my cool

But I'm feeling

[Verse 7]

I try to say goodbye

And I choke

I try to walk away

And I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles

When you are not near

[Verse 8]

Goodbye and I choke

I try to walk away

And I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles

When you are not near

[Verse 9]

Goodbye and I choke

Try to walk away

And I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles

When you are not near

[Verse 10]

Goodbye and I choke

I try to walk away

And I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles

When you are not near
