now you want to make amends (pay for mistakes you make over and over again) ('cause you only tear me up inside) ow you want to be my friend (but i can't go back without a better defense) (but you have to understand that) I won't wait forever, I won't wait
look what you have become you must make your parents oh so proud a shell of what I've loved you're nothing but dead to me now
this chapter starts again (we try our best to stay away from the past) (still it doesn't open up our eyes) (we convince ourselves that we are different this time) (still we have to understand that)
and these decisions, these body rhythms, your memory's still burned into these arms you used to fill and this surrender's so far from tender
othing but dead (dead!) to me now
