"we've got to get better"
said "it's all in your head"
we could live through these letters
or forget it altogether
see, the months, they don't matter
it's the days i can't take
when the hours move to minutes
and i'm seconds away

just ask the question, come untie the knot
'say you won't care'
'say you won't care'
you retrace the steps as if we forgot
'say you won't care'
'say you won't care'
you try to avoid it, but there's not a doubt
and there's one thing i can do nothing about

when all that we need is just a reaction
is too much to ask for when there's no attraction anymore
if chasing our dreams is just a distraction
i want to remember
when "i know that i can't go back"

just ask the question, come untie the knot
'say you won't care'
'say you won't care'
you retrace the steps as if we forgot
'say you won't care'
'say you won't care'

you try to avoid it (try to avoid it)
but there's not a doubt
and there's one thing i can do nothing
there's one thing i can do nothing
there's one thing i can do nothing about

(...one thing...)

just ask the question (just ask the question)
come untie the knot
'say you won't care' (care)
'say you won't care' (care)
and retrace the steps (retrace the steps)
as if we forgot
'say you won't care' (care)
'say you won't care' (care)
you try to avoid it (try to avoid it)
but there's not a doubt
and there's one thing i can do nothing
there's one thing i can do nothing
there's one thing i can do nothing about

(i can do nothing about)
