Is this how it's going to be

These expectations laid in front of me

Holds me down, then sets me free

Is this how it's going to start

With this emptiness inside my heart

Over time pulls me apart



Don't break this thread

It's all I have of you

Don't break this thread

It's all that I hold onto



This is what's in my head

This is how I feel about you

This is what's in my head

And this is what I do



Is this how it's going to end

With so many letters left to send

It's not enough just to pretend

Is this all I have left

I'll never forget you

I sat with you as we looked out on the water

And I knew it was right



Don't break this thread

It's all I have of you

By this string I've been led

It's all that I hold onto



This is what's in my head

This is how I feel about you

This is what's in my head

And this is what I do

I still remember that morning when the sunlight hit your eyes

I know I made you feel guilty, but I never made you cry

I know you don't believe me when I tell you the truth

And I know you look right through me when I'm looking through to you

I'm never going to realize, I'm never going to understand

I'm always going to be a boy, I'm never going to be a man

I held you in my arms, and I swore I'd never leave

I just hope that you were listening and I hope that you believe me
