The Camera Turns

(album: Say Hello - 2010)

It's a shame that we have to part
But don't think it was the distance that tore us apart
"You're beautiful" only goes so far
'Cause in the end, it comes down to who you are
I guess now I know the truth
This never really did mean much to you
And you can try to defend yourself
But I know, I knew that there was someone else

Remember the night you said we need to talk?
Things aren't working out, I said "So what?
It's not like they ever did, ever will, ever could, ever should."
So let's enjoy what time allows
And maybe we can fall in love again somehow
But the doubts outweigh the past
Back when we wanted things to last
So I guess here it ends
Years from now, we'll only say we were never friends
No words I have left to say
Except I hope to see you again someday
I hope to see you again someday

You may hear some things I say
But I promise, you're hearing them all the wrong way
I didn't mean half the things you heard
Do you honestly think I wanted to make things worse?
I thought when you left, you'd disappear
But I'm losing my mind, 'cause you're still here
I can't sleep and when I can
I don't wanna wake up, 'cause I know you'll be right there
I just want you to go away
But at the same time, I want you to stay
I miss everything that made me hurt
And I miss giving you the attention you didn't deserve

And I'm just making more mistakes
Everything touch seems to break
Except you; you're invincible and I'm not
And I just feel like the one that you forgot
You're leaving this town forever
And God knows I'll try to forget her
But I will, I will remember that when we kissed
The camera turns, the camera turns
The camera turns, the camera turns, the camera turns

You never said, never said to me
But your words mean as much as nothing could ever mean
You never said, never said a thing but you did
But I suspect I never listened
The things you say, the things you don't say
The long days, take it the wrong way
I can't take this, I fucking hate this
The words just pile up to be concealed by the touch of your lips
By the touch of your lips

And what you want and what I have
Are two different things, but can't we work it out somehow?
Can't we work it out somehow?
And what you want and what I have
Are two different things, but can't we work it out somehow?
Can't we work it out somehow?
