Album: Beneath This Skin

You are a mystery to me; your memory won't let me be.
They all say, "Let go," but they don't know what I know.
I'm fed the scraps of your ghost; I taste the heartache the most.
Sometimes I feel you here, but I can't change the way you fear.

(Chorus:)
I don't know what hurts the most--
Things that change or things that don't.
And I don't know what breaks me most--
Love that dies or love that won't.

When everyone else in my world is so inconsistent
And so undependable,
It's nice to know that I can always count on you--
To break my heart.

You are the yardstick that's there every time I start to care
About someone else... you make them look so worthless.
You are the one that I've loved more than any other
And I've never loved like that before,
But I hope I'll love like that again someday.

Chorus

I've been loving you for longer than I can remember,
And with more than I could learn to forget.
But it's time I learned... this is what it tastes like to let go...
It's so bitter, and I'm so stale, and you're so gone.
Was every hope and every vision that I ever had...
...were they all wrong?
