I can't say where the troubles from Or how our love might come undone If we continue this trend But there's one thing we both have learned You can't force feelings to return So I am leaving to be friends Washed by a wave that cried "Hurry! I'm taking you home" Then as the tide returned somehow I find I'm alone I dreamed I looked right through your face And saw us in another place And not feeling much like we've been But logic doesn't give us will To not choke down this bitter pill So I am leaving to be friends Washed by a wave that cried "Hurry! I'm taking you home" Then as the tide returned somehow I find I'm alone
