I try to see your good intentions
Why I cannot reach your heart
I know our love isn't what it used to be

And now, after all we've said and done
How do we keep the rising Sun from shutting down?
Are we what we pretend to be?

And we couldn't find
What we were looking for
We failed to read
The writing on the wall
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on

For a while we thought we had it all, a thousand lies
They only fed the height that couldn't last
Are we what we pretend to be?

And we couldn't find
What we were looking for
We failed to read
The writing on the wall
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on

For they were right
All along
And I couldn't see
I should've let you known
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on

Somehow, it all fell apart
And we knew it right from the start

And we couldn't find
What we were looking for
We failed to read
The writing on the wall
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on

For they were right
All along
And I couldn't see
I should've let you known
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on
