Discovering The Waterfront

I will promise myself I won't care,
Distracting myself from your stare.
And I've seen this mistake once before;
With your games, I will never fall for.
I've hung up my guns...
I won't kill again.

I won't forget you,
I'm not gonna let you win...
But I'm tired of lying,
Tired of fighting you;
And it's not gonna change.

You ask for my heart,
You know that I'm down.
But not the way you lie to me,
You tear it all apart. And beg for me to say;
I've sailed off to sea,
I'm not coming back.

I won't forget you,
I'm not gonna let you win...
But I'm tired of lying,
Tired of fighting you;
And it's not gonna change.


Counting down, make that sounds;
when you know it makes no sense.
Counting down, 'til you mess around;
When I know you can't ever change.
Why am I trembling? thrown overboard?
When I'm ready to relive the past...
Counting down, make that sounds:
Break the silence!

Pretend it's not forever,
I'll pull myself together,
I'll say that I'll forget her.
I'll breathe.
And I'll say she never hurt me,
And look at it as learning,
And laugh about the good and the bad.
Because I won't live forever,
We don't belong together,
I know I'll feel better
One day when I can make it through.

I won't forget you,
I'm not gonna let you win...
But I'm tired of lying,
Tired of fighting you;
And it's not gonna change.
