Intro III

When I reach out my hand for you
And you don't reach back
I'll be ready
I'll be prepared

I don't mind the empty side of my bed
I don't mind the smell of your cigarettes
Or that after we hug and say our goodbyes
My hands smell like you
I can let my tears fall all I want
It won't make you fall in love
So I'll just move on
If there really is no way you and I can be together

Then I'll stop dreaming about us girl
I'll stay here tonight
I can think all I want of what could've been
But if you've never seen me
And thought you could be with me
Then I'm getting over us
I'm sick of killing myself over us
I know you don't belong to me
We can keep praying to our Monolith
And we can keep our enchanted bond
But hell is us if we don't decide to let this go
