Go if you want to I never tried to stop you Know there's a reason For all of this you're feeling Love its not my call You couldn't ever love me more You couldn't love me more You couldn't love Me I don't show much Its not that hard to hide you See in a moment I can't remember how to Be all you wanted I couldn't ever love you more I couldn't love you more I couldn't love You want me to cry and play my part I want you to sigh and fall apart We want this like everyone else Stay if you want to I always wait to hear you Say there's a last kiss For all the times you run this Way its not my fault You couldn't ever love me more You couldn't love me more You couldn't love Love me more Couldn't ever love me more I couldn't love you more I couldn't love You want me to lie not break your heart I want you to fly not stop and start We want us like everything else Maybe we didn't understand Not just a boy and a girl Its just the end of the end of the world Me i don't say much Its far too hard to make you See in a moment I still forget just how to Be all you wanted I couldn't ever love you more I couldn't love you more (x4)
