As Good As It Gets

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
