[Verse 1]
The city sleeps so silently
I wish I could say the same for me
But I’ve got this dead-ended street
To keep searching for

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A tunnel underneath the bitter truth
Or a bridge invisible I won’t fall through

[Chorus]
And I don’t know how much I can keep
Letting you unravel me
'Cause the more you learn
The more we share

We were worlds apart and you see
It was so much easier to be
'Cause now I know what we can’t have
And it’s so unfair

[Verse 2]
I never meant most of those pretty words I said, oh
But I wanted you to think I did
'Cause telling you all this makes no difference, oh no
It’s useless, oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause those who get to know our hearts the most
They always seem to be the ones we’ll never hold

[Chorus]
And I don’t know how much I can keep
Letting you unravel me
'Cause the more you learn
The more we share, oh

We were worlds apart and you see
It was so much easier to be
'Cause now I know what we can’t have
And it’s so unfair

[Bridge]
Oh, well, can’t you see it’s destroying me?
I can’t stand the closeness, oh
But don’t you dare go avoiding me
It kills me and yet it keeps me going, oh, oh

[Chorus]
And I don’t know how much I can keep l
Letting you unravel me
'Cause the more you learn
The more we share, whoa, oh
We were worlds apart and you see
It was so much easier to be
'Cause now I know what we can’t have
And it’s so unfair
