Lyrics
[verse]
The suitcase sits half packed beside the bed
So many words already left unsaid
We both know that the fire's burning low
But neither one of us can say the word "go"
[verse]
I keep on finding reasons just to stay
Some little chore that pulls the night away
You do the same, we dance around the truth
Holding on to shadows of our youth
[chorus]
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye
Neither one of us wants to watch the other cry
So we keep pretending that the love's still here
Circling the ending we both fear
[verse]
The clock ticks louder than it did before
Every silence heavier than before
We know this house has run out of the words
That used to fill it like a flock of birds
[chorus]
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye
Neither one of us wants to watch the other cry
So we keep pretending that the love's still here
Circling the ending we both fear
[bridge]
Maybe one of us will find the strength tonight
To open up that door and step outside
Until then we'll sit here in the fading glow
Both too scared to be the one to go
[chorus]
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye
Neither one of us wants to watch the other cry
So we keep pretending that the love's still here
Circling the ending we both fear
