The moment I saw you my breath slipped away
Thought I'd never find another who could make me feel this way
And I promised myself not to fall, but I fell
Now I don't know where to go since you left me here

We used to stay up all night just talking
We'd laugh till the sun came up
The nights we held each other
My memory won't ever fade

Now you say we can be friends
But I feel that smae old stare
And when we brush passed each other
I hold my breath, keeping my mind from going there

Sitting in the same room
Hurts I can't explain
When you call me to come talk
I want to turn away

You broke my wings
I thought I'd never fly
But I survived without your love
Now you're back and all has changed
What will I do now

You say we'll always be friends
Made me promise that's how it would be
But when I turn to walk away
You're calling out to me

You're still able to read my mind
Still able to hold me close
Still trying to keep that distance
But not wanting to let me go

You reach out when you know you shouldn't
Always take that seat next to me
Nudge my foot like you used to do
Push away from me

I'm as open as I ever was
Though I built a wall around my heart
I thought I'd put it all behind me
Till you break it down with one smile

I try and keep my distance
Keep you away from me
But I can't keep myself from trying
To get you back with me

It's odd because I know you want it
But you're too scared to try
Tell me that I'm too different
Yet the best person you've known in life

So explain to me Mr. Piano man
When you're singing that old tune
Do you want me to turn my back
Or do you want me to still want you
