[00:15.096] If I'm gonna say it like it is
[00:19.138] We've become identical to them
[00:22.940] We've become the strangers we don't know
[00:27.183] A dying rose
[00:31.285] I'm forty miles North of where we met
[00:35.271] You're forty miles South of where we live
[00:39.322] It doesn't matter where we try to go
[00:42.939] If all the exits are closed
[00:48.358] There's nothing I could say
[00:52.144] To keep my head above water
[00:56.818] There's nothing I could do
[01:00.707] If I lose one, I lose two
[01:04.760] 'Cause I thought you were the home-run hitter, the cherry that never bitters
[01:09.925] Like the first taste of heat, the feeling I wanna keep until I'm dead (dead, dead)
[01:17.369] There's nothing I could do (do, do)
[01:21.354] And I thought you were a cold blood assassin, a truth I couldn't imagine
[01:26.205] But that light never painted the room
[01:29.608] Now there's nothing I could do (do, do) to make it easier on you
[01:36.893] It's more than just the fire going out
[01:40.860] It's more than just the candles on the ground
[01:44.773] It's everything you wanted us to be
[01:48.979] The parts I won't see
[01:53.119] The door I always locked, you left it open
[01:57.058] Too afraid that you would blink and it would close in
[02:01.068] And we would lose our vulnerability
[02:05.247] Oh, we were so naive
[02:10.392] 'Cause I thought you were the home-run hitter, the cherry that never bitters
[02:15.683] Like the first taste of heat, the feeling I wanna keep until I'm dead (dead, dead)
[02:22.663] There's nothing I could do (do, do)
[02:27.070] And I thought you were a cold blood assassin, a truth I couldn't imagine
[02:32.116] But that light never painted the room
[02:35.219] Now there's nothing I could do (do, do) to make it easier on–
[02:43.776] Easier on–, easier on–
[02:47.824] Easier on–, easier on–
[02:52.060] Easier on–, easier on–
[02:56.029] Easier on you
[02:59.802] There's nothing I could say
[03:03.714] To keep those gorgeous eyes from crying
[03:07.803] There's nothing I could do
[03:11.946] If I lose you, I lose too
[03:15.722] 'Cause I thought you were the home-run hitter, the cherry that never bitters
[03:21.044] Like the first taste of heat, the feeling I wanna keep until I'm dead (dead, dead)
