If you are chasing your love, you don't want it enough and it's best just to walk away
AmF
Tell yourself your pride is just the same
CGAm
Trying not to count the days 'til mine gets washed away
FCG
Carry your head up along the way

And you'll say you lack the courage and the guts of a hero even when they're on your side

Let's watch the middle fade away 'til it's all gone

All I want is to just be honest
