~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I just can't hold onto you anymore,
Because you've always got one foot out the door...
Nothing about you ever seems to make any sense,
I ask you a question, and you're on the defense.

Maybe I confuse you, but you confuse me more --
I think it's okay, then my heart shatters as it hits the floor.
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say...
I can't let you know that I think about you all day.

I don't want to be just another rebound,
I'm screaming, but I can't make a sound --
I promised myself I'd be second-to-none,
But how can I just say that I'm done?

I feel like you're slipping away,
Fading into the dawn of a new day --
I can't keep holding onto you,
But I can't bear to say it's through.

I can't handle being your rebound,
I try to scream, but I can't make a sound;
I'm terrified, but I'll never let it show...
I could love you, but I'll never let you know.
