Alone inside my head
With a secret that's out of date
And a whipping tongue
That just can't wait

You know it used to be
The whole world versus you and me
But now it seems
It's just you versus me

When it comes down to it
I just was not ready for it

Maybe all that's left
Is a love that's more permanent than death
It's inevitable
It's as sure as a bird
And all I want to see
Is the difference in between
A love born out of grief
And sympathy

When it comes down to it
I just was not ready for it

And you're not backing down
And I won't come around

And you're not backing down
And I won't come around

If this is you just trying to hurt yourself
Well I won't help, no I won't help
And if you think I'm going to self-destruct
Well I'll give it up or I'll give you up
So I'll give it up
