baby for the first time
im falling, falling for the last time
half dead on the inside, feels like nothings left at all
half smile on the outside, then its gone

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed
i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

could it be that this time
we're just longing, longing for the first time
its been such a long night
now we're sleeping back again
no matter how we try, to pretend

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed
i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

i could never see what you wanted from me, all your going to be
is disappointed

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

half dead on the inside, feels like nothings left at all
half smile on the outside, then its gone

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

i could never see what you wanted from me, all your going to be
is disappointed

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

(fade out)

i could never see what you wanted from me, all your going to be
is disappointed.

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed
