lyrics

We broke our promise to each other
I tried my best but my best wasn't enough
We broke our promise to each other
We tried our best but our best wasn't enough

Now you know that you just can't be with me
But I'm a stubborn fool, I won't give up easily
I'll squeeze the life out of you until the love is gone
Now our world's coming down, but I still hold on

We broke our promise to each other
I tried my best but my best wasn't enough
I don't think I ever will feel better
We tried our best but our best wasn't enough

Now I ask myself why was I such a fool?
But desperate hearts can sometimes be so cruel
I tried to make you into somebody else
I just wanted to help you, but I gave you hell
My love

I never found a way to prove my love
I gave all that I could but it was never enough
I failed time and time, I can't do anything right
I took everything from you, now I fade into night
Eternal night without you
