lyrics

It's a state of denial
Closing our eyes to what we see.
I don't want to do this
I can't live with this hopeless hope anymore.

What would it take for us to finally work this thing out?
What would it take for us to see what this is beyond a doubt?
If we never accept what we are then should we should just leave?
But I don't want to miss this,
Don't want to miss what could be.

We can fight our instincts.
Open our eyes to the things unseen.
I don't know how I feel
But I don't want to let this slip from our grasp.

What would it take for us to finally work this thing out?
What would it take for us to see what this is beyond a doubt?
If we never accept what we are then should we should just leave?
But I don't want to miss this,
Don't want to miss what could be.

I know all along I've been the one to say this wasn't right
The one who every time puts up all her walls and fights.
And honestly, inside, I know this is too good for me
A gift of what I cannot ever receive.
But what would it take to believe?

What would it take for us to finally work this thing out?
What would it take for us to see what this is beyond a doubt?
If we never accept what we are then should we should just leave?
But I don't want to miss this,
Don't want to miss what could be.
