lyrics

This feels like something I've felt before
Too many times before
This feels like hitting my head on the floor
Weighed down by too many feelings- regret and revenge
And yet I stand, arms at my sides
For two seconds I hoped it was different
I thought something good and then gave up once more
It's happened too many times and I trained myself not to cry
And yet here am I
And the tears pour down
It's over, it's over before it starts
And I had no chance to win your heart
Your face, your face I will never kiss
And your arms, your arms- how I hate this
Watching you knowing I'll never know what it would be to know your deepest hopes
I feel like taking a dose of this perilous medicine
And knowing no more, knowing no more, knowing no more, knowing no more
And the tears pour down
I'm alone, I'm alone
It never starts, it will never start
I will never know
And I'll never hold you
I'll never kiss your forehead, kiss you goodnight
And I fall, that's all
This is all I'll ever know
Hopes fall
It's all I will ever know
This is perilous water
I've crossed it before and I'll cross it once more
And it's over, it's over before it starts
And I crave your heart
But my grave is hard
And this feels like something I've felt before, yeah
Too many, too many times before
This feels like something I've felt before, too many times before
This feels like hitting my head on the floor
