I know you've been hurt
Many a time before
Your heart bleeds rivers
Deep enough to drown

Thought i to be the one
To swim against the current
Swim against the force
The force that pulls one down

But no matter how hard i try
I can't seem to win this fight
I seem to be further behind
Than i was when i met you

I know that you'll choose
Where you want to be
Choose the heart of gold
And not the one for free
Choose the heart of the past
Belonging not to me

But no matter how hard i try
I can't seem to win this fight
I seem to be further behind
Than i was when i met you

No matter how hard i try
I can't seem to win this fight
I seem to be further behind
Than i was when i met you
