I can read the lines on your face
And they´re telling me everything I already know, yeah
I hold you in my arms
But you´re light-years away from me
Slowly sinking under alone, yeah

So I act cool on the outside
But it´s eatin´ me alive

[Chorus :]
´Cause when it comes to you
There´s nothing I can do
I can´t make you love me when you don´t
I see it in your eyes
All the compromise
No, I can´t take another slow goodbye

Sittin´ in the park after dark
Smokin´ cigarettes
Bitin´ on the black of my nails
´Cause all I ever wanted
Was what you took away from me
Tryin´ to make it right
But it´s too late

I´m a hopeless case on the inside
And it´s eatin´ me alive

[Chorus :]
´Cause when it comes to you
There´s nothing I can do
I can´t make you love me when you don´t
I see it in your eyes
All the compromise
No, I can´t take another slow goodbye, yeah

I die a million times
Everytime when you look me in the eye
I die ´cause I´ve heard it all before
The same game going around and around
But I still end up with nothing but hurting

[Chorus :]
´Cause when it comes to you (yeahhh)
There´s nothing I can do
I can´t make you love me when you don´t
I see it in your eyes
All the compromise
No, I can´t take another slow goodbye (yeah)
No, there´s nothing I can do (nothing I can do)
I can´t make you love me when you don´t
I see it in your eyes
All the compromise
No, I can´t take another slow goodbye
