Silverstein - Discovering The Waterfront lyrics

I will promise myself I won't care

distracting myself from your stare

and I've seen this mistake once before

with your games I will never fall for

I've hung up my guns....

I won't kill again

[Chorus:]

I won't forget you (I won't forget you)

I'm not gonna let you win (I'm not gonna...)

but I'm tired of lying

tired of fighting you

and it's not gonna change

You ask for my heart

you know that I'm down

but not the way you lie to me,

you tear it all apart and beg for me to say

I sail off to sea (I sail off to sea),

I'm not coming back

[Chorus]

Counting down

Make that sounds

When you know it makes no sense

Counting down

Till you mess around

When I know you can't ever change

Why am I trembling?

Throw it overboard

When I'm ready to we'll progress

Counting down

Make that sounds

Break the silence

Pretend it's not for never,

I'll pull myself together

I'll say that I'll forget her,

I'll breathe.

And I'll say she never hurt me,

And look at it as learning,

And laugh about the good and the bad.

Because I won't live forever

We don't belong together,

I know I'll be all better,

One day when I can make it through.

[Chorus x2]
