lyrics

This is such a familiar scene
It's just the same old story
Nothing that you haven't seen
at least I am never boring.
All of my irrationality
and all of my demanding
met with a non judgmental
sigh if understanding.

I'm sorry my friend
cuz you were always there for me
You patiently waited
till I turned and walked away.
So this is how it ends
Believe I see the irony
This world feels big and cold when you take it on alone.

I'm sorry for your wasted time
and I'm sorry you were a friend of mine
I'm sorry for all the time that went by
while I pushed you to the side.
I've never let anyone get that close
and when I think of what could have been
It's not that there's not enough room
I just can not let you in

I'm sorry my friend
cuz you were always there for me
You patiently waited
till I turned and walked away.
So this is how it ends
Believe I see the irony
This world feels big and cold when you take it on alone.

The ending of a partner
The anguish of Departure
The decision, the embarkation
The self propelling isolation
The vast endless grey
The silence that awaits
I hear that it's here
and then I disappear

I'm sorry my friend
cuz you were always there for me
You patiently waited
till I turned and walked away.
So this is how it ends
Believe I see the irony
This world feels big and cold when you take it on alone.

This world is big and cold and I'll always be alone.
