Somehow

I tell you that i want you
That i've loved you
For ever so long now

I stand before you
My eyes they fall to the ground
I am a coward here
In these feelings i've found

But i want to be braver
I won't flail like a card in my hand
I wanna be real
So you know where i stand

Somehow
This day it's not mine to break
And i must learn now
There are some things i cannot take

Somehow
This time it's not mine to choose
And i must learn now
Sometimes it's okay to lose

Desire
It's burning my heart
Desire
It's tearing this old house apart

And it feels so good
But it feels so bad
And i feel so good
But i feel so sad

I wouldn't change a thing
I don't need to survive
I wouldn't change a thing
I'm gonna burn alive

You make me a deal
Well i'm feeling empty
I'm feeling alone
But i'm gonna stay right here
I found something new

Out in the darkness all alone
With the light of loving you

Somehow
This day is not mine to break
And i must learn now
There are some things i cannot take

Somehow
This time is not mine to choose
And i must learn now
Sometimes it's okay to lose

Desire
It's burning my heart
Desire
It's tearing this old house apart

And it feels so good
But it feels pretty bad
And it feels so good
But i feel so sad

I wouldn't change a thing
I don't need to survive
I wouldn't change a thing
I'm gonna burn alive
