How can I explain to you the picture of this avenue?
The rain falls on the street outside my window on this Thursday afternoon
I sit alone inside these sinful walls I've lived inside
So many lies have lived and died; none so much as the one I lived with you

I see you on the highway a thousand miles away
Rain falls through your hair and cheeks
Tears and mascara streaks
Your face reflected in the glass
Lines in the pavement go past just like the lines around your eyes that held away to an endless sad goodbye

Everybody that I know said I should've just let you go
You run from everything, you see
Hurt the ones you love like me
But here I sit and picture you with fingers worn your shirts on, too

Your heart's so big and broke in two
Your mind drifting through all you knew

Afraid to love; afraid to lose;
Afraid to start; afraid to choose;
Afraid to live; afraid to die;
Afraid to let these days go sail by;
Afraid to change or stay the same;
Afraid to lose yourself again;

Afraid of the truth that love could cause you so much pain

I know

I felt it, too
Sweetheart, I wish it wasn't true
