I know you've been hurt
Many a time before
Your heart bleeds rivers
Deep enough to drown
Thought I to be the one
To swim against the current
Swim against the force
The force that pulls one down
But no matter how hard I try
I can't seem to win this fight
I seem to be further behind
Than I was when I met you
I know that you'll choose
Where you want to be
Choose the heart of gold
And not the one for free
Choose the heart of the past
Belonging not to me
But no matter how hard I try
I can't seem to win this fight
I seem to be further behind
Than I was when I met you
No matter how hard I try
I can't seem to win this fight
I seem to be further behind
Than I was when I met you
