I can read the lines on your face
And they're telling me everything I already know, yeah
I hold you in my arms
But you're light-years away from me
Slowly sinking under alone, yeah
So I act cool on the outside
But it's eatin' me alive
[Chorus :]
'Cause when it comes to you
There's nothing I can do
I can't make you love me when you don't
I see it in your eyes
All the compromise
No, I can't take another slow goodbye
Sittin' in the park after dark
Smokin' cigarettes
Bitin' on the black of my nails
'Cause all I ever wanted
Was what you took away from me
Tryin' to make it right
But it's too late
I'm a hopeless case on the inside
And it's eatin' me alive
[Chorus :]
'Cause when it comes to you
There's nothing I can do
I can't make you love me when you don't
I see it in your eyes
All the compromise
No, I can't take another slow goodbye, yeah
I die a million times
Everytime when you look me in the eye
I die 'cause I've heard it all before
The same game going around and around
But I still end up with nothing but hurting
[Chorus :]
'Cause when it comes to you (yeahhh)
There's nothing I can do
I can't make you love me when you don't
I see it in your eyes
All the compromise
No, I can't take another slow goodbye (yeah)
No, there's nothing I can do (nothing I can do)
I can't make you love me when you don't
I see it in your eyes
All the compromise
No, I can't take another slow goodbye
