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 eating me alive
'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
I'm the compromise
No, I can't take another slow goodbye
Sitting in the park, after dark, smoking cigarettes
Biting all the black off of my nails
'Cause all I ever wanted was what you took away from me
Try to make it right, but it's too late
I'm a hopeless case on the inside
And it's eating me alive
'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
I'm the compromise
No, I can't take another slow goodbye
No, I die
A million times every time when you look me in the eye
And lie
'Cause I've heard it all before
The same game
We go around and around
But I still end up with nothing
But hurting
'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
I'm the compromise
No, I can't take another slow goodbye
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
I'm the compromise
No, I can't take another slow goodbye
