Staring in the eyes of her reflection looking back
And I can't find a single word to say
Cause I've been here a thousand times
Through different rooms on different nights
And I always let the moment fade away
But I can't afford to lose tonight
And I know I might not see it twice
And I don't want to be living with regret
Cause I always seem to sacrifice
And every time I compromise
I realise there might be nothing left
And this could be as good as it gets
This could be as good as it-
As I put my arms around you
As you're standing by the stairs
Let me find the words you need to hear
Cause you've been here a thousand times
Through different rooms on different nights
And the message that I speak is crystal clear
Cause you can't afford to lose tonight
And you know you might not see it twice
And although I'll tell you something I'll forget
Cause I always seem to sacrifice
And every time I compromise
I realise there might be nothing left
And this could be as good as it gets
This could be as good as it-
Stood there in the silence
Every breath is amplified
But I know every single word to speak
Cause I've been here a thousand times
Through different rooms on different nights
There's a broken voice that echoes through the street
And I can't afford to lose tonight
Cause I know this one won't come round twice
With the embers of a rolled up cigarette
I think about the sacrifice
And all the things I've compromised
Just to realise there might be nothing left
This could be as good as it gets
This could be as good as it gets
This could be as good as it gets
This could be as good as-
This could be as good as it gets
