[Intro]
It's only in a dream
That I tell you I love you (hmm)
And only in a memory can we both tell the truth
So take it easy on me darling I don't have no qualms with you
And don't you end before we started don't you throw it all away
[Chorus]
Cause I know, and you don't know how much
I've tried, I've cried, I've died
To keep you by my side
So now, leave me be
Cause I don't know why I chose to lie to myself
A thousand times
[Verse]
No matter how strong, you think that you are
Someone comes along, and raises their bar
So you keep holding on
Keep holding on
You keep holding on
And on and on
[Chorus]
Cause I know, and you don't know how much
I've tried, I've cried, I've died
To keep you by my side
So now, leave me be
Cause I don't know why I chose to lie to myself
A thousand times
[Bridge]
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
[Outro]
Cause I know, and you don't know how much
I've tried I've cried, I've died
To keep you by my side
