I once believed in everything lasting forever But sometimes it's not the time, and it's alright to stop Heaven knows why it never goes how we want it to Oh, I wish I felt it for you But I've got issues with everything and everyone We need to talk No, it's not your fault I'm in the state I'm in I'm out of love Don't know where to start, but we need to talk I know we've tried a thousand times to make it work out And everything that we try to say has all been said Heaven knows why it never goes how we want it to But I'll always feel it for you And I've got issues with everything and everyone We need to talk No, it's not your fault I'm in the state I'm in I'm out of love Don't know where to start, but we need to talk And if we say goodbye, it's gonna hurt you It's gonna hurt me And though it don't feel right, we try and push through Like we're happy Maybe down the line I'm gonna know you, but I won't While I've got issues with everything and everyone We need to talk No, it's not your fault I'm in the state I'm in I'm out of love Don't know where to start, but we need to talk

I'm never gonna fight again— If not for love, where would I be? My heart on cruise? I'm never gonna fight for a seat Just stand up for all things good; Like we could, like we should (HEY) I'm never gonna fight again— "We need to talk" but not to end If for one thing, let it begin for our livin' With little limits I'd beg to take your gun I'd shine to be your one (Do you know) I'm feelin' like we never got it good (Where this goes?) I'm feelin' like we never understood (Life goes on and on) Feelin' like we kinda really could If we could, then we should Take what missin' with our kissin' Let the movement take control Learn to make more of this moment With our bodies and our souls And when the time feels right We'll make it on the try There's no need, let this be, You and me We can get it if we like I'm never gonna find this again If not for you where would I be We learn a lot of things from you, from me YOU are my ending here
