I watch you with eyes
That are taking pains not to cry
From all the way across this room
You look better than by the light of the moon
From when we sat out and watched fireworks
I choose between harsh pains and tired hurts
When I'm living without you

It's like every time I get near you
I just want to push you away
And every time you're out of reach
I just want to convince you to stay

I wish I still had you close
To think of and cherish me the most
Everyone says you'll take me back
But that requires nothing less than emotional fact
Which neither of us can give
Cause we're still just trying to live
Without each other

It's like every time I get near you
I just want to push you away
And every time you're out of reach
I just want to convince you to stay

Now that the weather's turned cold
I'm not even yours to hold
I wonder if I'd still be irked
By all your unconventional quirks
But I doubt these stains would be on my cheeks
From all the tears held back for weeks
When I'm living without you

It's like every time I get near you
I just want to push you away
And every time you're out of reach
I just want to convince you to stay

Come back to me
You know you want to
Come back to me
I know you want to
Come back to me
We both know you want to
But do I want you
Or will I just change again tomorrow
When we're without each other

It's like every time I get near you
I can't even remember tears
And every time you're out of reach
I can't even think straight
It's like every time I get near you
I just want to push you away
And every time you're out of reach
I just want to convince you to stay
