Years go by when you're counting your tears Take time and I wonder why I traded in your love and your presence For just a little bit of a sweet synthetic feeling Just some late night stealing Of broken emotions Love is an ocean Found under neon lights in a potion And now you let me drown But I still feel you there, you're the broken side of me As tides turn and bridges burn I'm gonna need something To help me keep you there, you're the brighter side of me I can't hold or let you go under the shade you bring Well say something, move closer Cause I just cant understand it; the way you let me go It's alright now, we're older You can tell me the feelings that you just never show I'm everything that you asked of me In the past 4 years but you keep your pace I feel you pushing the distance now Cause we're not the kids who fell in love that day And it's been so long But I still feel you there, you're the broken side of me As tides turn and bridges burn I'm gonna need something To help me keep you there, you're the brighter side of me I can't hold or let you go under the shade you, the shade you bring It's like you took away the sun from me I swear I never felt colder I feel you in the air, it's like you're chained to me You still walk the halls of the home you kept But you won't admit that you're in my chest You're still the shade on the walls I know You're still the pain that I can't forget But I still feel you there, you're the broken side of me As tides turn and bridges burn I'm gonna need something To help me keep you there, you're the brighter side of me I can't hold or let you go under the shade you bring Years go by when you're counting your tears Take time and I wonder why I traded in your love and your presence For just a little bit of a sweet synthetic
