He said "forgive me"
"I can only be this much."
"Don't feed the monster,
live as your own master.
Go away, and don't turn back."
She closed her mind and waited for
the stain to dry.
She wasn't blind, but through enamored eyes
the poison is as sweet as the lie.


They're face to face,
they're soul to soul.
she's seen it all before.
And she's already halfway through the door
when he starts to bleed out words:


"Whatever you feel, whatever you see,
whatever you do, wherever you are.
Whatever this is, whatever this means,
whatever you seek:
I am gonna break you
I don't love nor hate you
I can't be the man you want.
I am bound to break you
I don't love nor hate you.
I can't be the man you want."


He said "forgive me."
"I can only be a friend."
"It doesn't matter,
It's not me you're after.
Just my version in your head."
She closed her eyes and waited
for the storm to pass.
It feels unreal, impossible to deal with-
just one half of a romance.


They are face to face
Not heart to heart.
They're born to be apart.
And she doesn't even dare look back
whens he feels him twist the knife:


"Whatever you feel, whatever you see,
whatever you do, wherever you are.
Whatever this is, whatever this means,
whatever you seek:
I am gonna break you
I don't love nor hate you
I can't be the man you want.
I am bound to break you
I don't love nor hate you.
I can't be the man you want."


(You'll live, that's a given.
Breathe it out and breathe in.
Breathe it in and breathe it out.)


I am gonna break you
I don't love nor hate you
I can't be the man you want.
I am bound to break you
I don't love nor hate you.
I can't be the man you want."
