It's not that I don't love you
But it's starting to sink in
Maybe I'm forgetting
What true love really is

And I know it's bad
That we won't remember
The reasons why we stayed together
Are we just holding on?

For a happy ending after all? (after all)
There's no pretending
When you're backed against the wall (backed against the wall)
Love can't live here very long (very long)
There's no pretending
There'll be a happy ending
When you're gone

I'm seeing all your faces
Unveiling one by one
You seem a little jaded, lost and complicated
Afraid of everyone

And it's kinda sad
That we won't remember
The reasons why we stayed together
What were we waiting for? (were we waiting for?)

For a happy ending after all (after all)
There's no pretending
When you're backed against a wall (backed against a wall)
Love don't live here anymore (anymore)
There's no pretending
There'll be a happy ending
When you're gone
When you're gone

And I know it's bad
When you can't remember
The reasons why we stayed together
Were we just holding on?

For a happy ending after all (after all)
There's no pretending
When you're backed against a wall (backed against a wall)
'Cause love don't live here anymore (anymore)
There's no pretending
There'll be a happy ending
When you're gone
When you're gone
Everything is said and done
When you’re gone
When you’re gone
