i wish i were more musically inclined to put music to these...

I know that I don't always finish what I start.
Maybe that's the reason for this distance between our hearts.
Or maybe it's in the way you look at me now.
Our time is finally up & our number's come around.

And I take a breath
As you walk away.

I guess I always knew the ship was sinking.
I just gave it all I had;
Pretend it wasn't so bad.
'Suppose I got tired
Of thinking of ways to solve the endless puzzle of us.
I take a breath as you walk away.
I knew this would happen someday;
But it still hurts so bad to say goodbye.

I know that I don't always try as hard as I should.
But no one can wait around forever, for bad to turn to good.
And you would never hear me;
I couldn't wait forever to be understood.
Sometimes things just don't go as planned,
They don't go like you thought they would.


And I take a breath
As you walk away.

I guess I always knew the ship was sinking.
I just gave it all I had;
Pretend it wasn't so bad.
'Suppose I got tired
Of thinking of ways to solve the endless puzzle of us.
I take a breath as you walk away.
I knew this would happen someday;
But it still hurts so bad to say goodbye.

No one can wait forever for bad to turn to good.
You listen from behind your wall of never ending doubt;
Never taking the time; never understanding
What all my pain is about.
I tried everything I could
But sometimes things don't work out the way you thought they should;
In the back of my mind, I knew they never, ever would.


I guess I always knew the ship was sinking.
I just gave it all I had;
Pretend it wasn't so bad.
'Suppose I got tired
Of thinking of ways to solve the endless puzzle of us.
I take a breath as you walk away.
I knew this would happen someday;
But it still hurts so bad to say goodbye.

I guess I always knew the ship was sinking.
But I take a breath as you walk away.
I knew this would happen someday.
But it still hurts so bad, to be right.
