Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I said I wanted you
And you from the start
I could tell you apart
But my heart fell and broke in two
[Verse 2]
You felt the pain for my foolish games
Didn't know what I stood to lose
I realized
You'd be my life
It's true
[Verse 3]
Love's been a strain
A strain in my heart
I'm numb to the feeling
[Verse 4]
It's too late to run away
The final frame will never know
Just float away in our parade
Of love and pain
Away we go, away we go
[Verse 5]
I said I wanted to
Do all I can to be a good man
But the scene I fell into
Took me away
But what can I say?
[Verse 6]
It's the times I'm living through
And we can pretend
We're reaching the end, it's true
Love's been a strain
A strain in my heart
I'm numb to the feeling
[Verse 7]
It's too late to run away
The final frame will never know
Just float away in our parade
Of love and pain
Away we go, away we go
