lies, I've been tellin lies
but by now i should know better
not to complicate the matter
but i dont, so let me set it straight
shed the emptiness inside me
no more shadows walk beside me
as i'm movin through this life,
tryin to find a reason to get by

if you were the one I would've built my world around you
if you were the one I would've never walked away
if you were the one I could've promised you forever
cause I'd of been in love
if you were the one

stone like a sinking stone
will look shapless at a distance
fallin further from the surface
So go, cause you can't make me whole
anymore than I can fix this, in a New York city minute
All in all we tried
foolish hearts can make mistakes sometimes

if you were the one I would've built my world around you
if you were the one I would've never walked away
if you were the one I could've promised you forever
cause I'd of been in love
if you were the one

like fire to paper, once theres a spark it's as good as gone
and after the ashes have all blown away
your gonna open up your eyes and realize
it wasnt I that crossed your mind
While you were dreamin
