Oh i love the way you looked at me last night
Like the time i really thought i touched the sky
And i should have slipped away right from the start
If only i could tell you how i fell apart
Oh i love the way you smiled at me last night
Like the time i really thought that i could fly
And i never thought it got me into tears
But after all these pills my fingers disappeared
(chorus)
And i never thought it hurt me like the way it hurts tonight
And i really thought i could take on the world all on my own
And this night seems colder than any xmasnight that passed away
Oh i really thought i died
All i want to think about is you right now
Cause the pain i feel is killing me somehow
And i only wanted to feel good inside
But now i feel it's tearing all my insides out
(chorus-repeat)
