The nightingale sings a song for free
Sounds like my own symphony
I'm almost hypnotized by the sound
I wake up and you're not around
Here things are moving very slow
Especially when it comes to letting go

Never thought the situation
Would reach this place
Never thought I'd see a stranger
When I see your face
Can't believe I feel alright 'bout
Walking away
But I feel okay
Even in defeat
It's bittersweet

One by one the walls came down, it's true
And God knows that we built a few
There's only one left around and that's you
But it's left me with quite a view
Of the world that I've only seen
Somewhere in a magazine

Never thought the situation
Would reach this place
Never thought I'd see a stranger
When I see your face
Can't believe I feel alright 'bout
Walking away
But I feel okay
Even in defeat
It's bittersweet

Every time that we come close to find a solution
You seem to find it impossible to say
I'll meet you halfway
I just pray you'll be happy someday, oh

Never thought the situation
Would reach this place
Never thought I'd see a stranger
When I see your face
Can't believe I feel alright 'bout
Walking away
But I feel okay
Even in defeat
It's so bittersweet
