Discovering the waterfront

I will promise myself I won´t care
distracting myself from your stare
and I´ve seen this mistake once before
with your games I will never fall for
I´ve hung up my guns....
I won´t kill again
[Chorus:]
I won´t forget you (I won´t forget you)
I´m not gonna let you win (I´m not gonna...)
but I´m tired of lying
tired of fighting you
and it´s not gonna change
You ask for my heart
you know that I´m down
but not the way you lie to me,
you tear it all apart and beg for me to say
I sail off to sea (I sail off to sea),
I´m not coming back
[Chorus]
Counting down
Make that sounds
When you know it makes no sense
Counting down
Till you mess around
When I know you can´t ever change
Why am I trembling?
Throw it overboard
When I´m ready to we´ll progress
Counting down
Make that sounds
Break the silence
Pretend it´s not for never,
I´ll pull myself together
I´ll say that I´ll forget her,
I´ll breathe.
And I´ll say she never hurt me,
And look at it as learning,
And laugh about the good and the bad.
Because I won´t live forever
We don´t belong together,
I know I´ll be all better,
One day when I can make it through.
[Chorus x2]
distracting myself from your stare
