Scenery is nothing more than poetry.
Love is nothing more than chemicals.
'Cause fairy tales are just scribbled pages filled with happy endings and little white lies.
One person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.


How do I tell you I miss you?
When in reality, I really don't.
How do I say that I will stay?
When deep down, I know I won't.
It all started with that one night,
I snuck through your bedroom window.
My only intention was to steal a kiss,
But instead you stole my breath with hello.
I never intended on you falling for me,
Because I don't stick around for too long.
You clung right on as soon as I left,
Any chance of escape I had is now gone.
And I don't wanna break your heart,
I don't wanna see you crash and burn.
I've never been good with the words I try to speak,
And I can't promise I'll stay when this love takes a wrong turn...
How do I tell you I miss you?
When in reality, I really don't.
How do I say that I will stay?
When deep down, I know I won't.
How do I hold you like I do?
When actually, I just want permanent space.
How do I show I love you?
When honestly, I don't belong in your place...
I never wanted this, I think you already know,
Yet, somehow I got pulled into this square.
I was doing great on my own, what I'm used too,
Now it's like you're always there.
It's not a bad thing, not at all,
I like having you around, you're my bliss.
But sometimes I think about how this started,
And why this love feels all amiss.
You're from one part of the world,
I come from the other.
So how can we be sure,
That you and I can be together?
How do I tell you I miss you?
When in reality, I really don't.
How do I say that I will stay?
When deep down, I know I won't.
How do I hold you like I do?
When actually, I just want permanent space.
How do I show I love you?
When honestly, I don't belong in your place...
What's gonna happen?
Where's this gonna go?
Don't wanna lead you on,
I'm not in this just for the show.
One kiss was all I wanted,
But love is what I got.
It's too late to escape,
I've already been caught...
How do I tell you I miss you?
When in reality, I really don't.
How do I say that I will stay?
When deep down, I know I won't.
How do I hold you like I do?
When actually, I just want permanent space.
How do I show I love you?
When honestly, I don't belong in your place...
