Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wait, wait for me
Stay, stay and see
And we'll just make, make believe
So won't you wait, wait for me?
[PreChorus]
'Cause I tried to drown out your memory
And you tried but you can't forget me
So why do we still feel so empty?
[Chorus]
Is this how it ends, tear apart at the seams?
We just play pretend like we don't feel a thing
Say it's for the best, we don't say what we mean
So can we start again or is this how it ends?
[Verse 2]
Why, why do we
Lie, tongue in cheek?
You say I'm not what you need
So tell me why
You won't set me free
[Chorus]
Is this how it ends, tear apart at the seams?
We just play pretend like we don't feel a thing
Say it's for the best, we don't say what we mean
So can we start again or is this how it ends?
[PreChorus]
I tried to drown out your memory
And you tried but you can't forget me
Why do we, why do we still feel so empty?
[Chorus]
Is this how it ends, tear apart at the seams?
We just play pretend like we don't feel a thing
Say it's for the best, we don't say what we mean
So can we start again or is this how it ends?
[PostChorus]
You don't wanna leave, I don't wanna let go
You don't wanna leave, and I don't wanna let go
You don't wanna leave, I don't wanna let go
Is this how it ends?
[Outro]
Is this how it ends?
