Why can't I believe what I want to believe?
Let go of instinct's subtle hand
Why can't I pretend nothing's happening?
Like so many others have
Well I want you to say that things will get better
'Cause I know myself and I can do better
Well I want to say that things will get better
But I, I can't
And it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
That never does come
That never does come
Well I'm gonna to stay wandering
You can tear the house down around me
Like a ghost that won't admit that he's dead
I'm stuck here in the middle of it
Well I want you to say that things will get better
'Cause I know myself and I can do better
Well I want to say that things will get better
But I, I can't
And it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
That never does come
That never does come
[instrumental interlude]
And it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
That never does come
That never does come
