I know you're gonna leave me
It's just a matter of time
I could just enjoy the moment
And savour while you're mine
But every day gets closer
To the end of the line
I know you're gonna leave me
It's just a matter of time
I know I'll be alone
By about this time next year
You can see how tough I am
Hiding every single tear
I could love you for a lifetime
Instead of striking out in fear
But I know I'll be alone
By about this time next year
The monsters sit beside me
And call to me by name
They wrap themselves around me
And drown me in my shame
Your love lights up the darkness
And helps me ease my pain
But they stare through my reflection
And I hear them call my name
Love is not a cure
But it helps soften the blow
And I begin to mirror
All the courage that you show
Perhaps there is a future
If I allow myself to grow
No, love is not a cure
But please teach me what you know
I know you're gonna leave me
It's just a matter of time
I could just enjoy the moment
And savour while you're mine
But every day gets closer
To the end of the line
I know you're gonna leave me
It's just a matter of time
I know I'll be alone
By about this time next year
You can see how tough I am
Hiding every single tear
I could love you for a lifetime
Instead of striking out in fear
But I know I'll be alone
By about this time next year
The monsters sit beside me
And call to me by name
They wrap themselves around me
And drown me in my shame
Your love lights up the darkness
And helps me ease my pain
But they stare through my reflection
And I hear them call my name
Love is not a cure
But it helps soften the blow
And I begin to mirror
All the courage that you show
Perhaps there is a future
If I allow myself to grow
No, love is not a cure
But please teach me what you know
