How could you not see this coming?
How could I think of you not being mine?
How could I tell you it’s over?
I watched your tears fall one at a time
But since then I’ve been trying to tell you
Since then I’ve been trying to tell you
You are the fuel I drink
But I run out and I slow down, then I think
Of what I’m missing
You are the fuel
Drink up the fuel
That makes me never wanna leave you
That makes me never wanna leave you
Why can’t I lay down my weapon?
Why can’t I turn and just drive away?
Why can’t I face you with sorrow?
I know exactly what I need to say
And that’s why I’ve been trying to tell you
That’s why I’ve been trying to tell you
Chorus
And your love comes wrapped up in plastic
Tied with a knot made of string
But I’m afraid to unwrap it
I don’t wanna mess up everything
How could we not see this coming?
How could we fight what we’re feeling inside?
How could we say that it’s over?
You are a charge I cannot deny
Lately I’ve been trying to tell you
Lately I’ve been trying to tell you
