I know a way that you can stay away from me
It's easier than what you heard and what you see
I've been counting (I've been counting)
And what I keep (And what I keep)
Isn't what you need, knowing what you need
Building sure-fire hearts into life-like ones
I can't complain, explain it's hard to be that way
I can't be that way
I can't believe it's up to me to fade that way
I can't fade that way
Reminding me I cannot stay
I think it's strange that you could change your mind for me
I only bought your line of thought that I could see
You've been counting
On what I keep
Isn't what you need, knowing what you need
Building sure-fire hearts into life-like ones
Reminding me I can't stay alone, I don't know what you mean
I know I've finally worked it out
I can be that way. I can be that way
I know I've asked is this all true
I can fade that way. I can fade that way
