lyrics

and I know that this could never ever happen
so I’ll keep you in the dark
and I’ll hide my reaction
when you walk

into the room
just like something from my wildest dreams come true
yeah, I’ll be losing you, soon

and I’m just dying to say what’s on my mind
but it wouldn’t make one ounce of difference
so I’ll keep it inside
where it will hopefully grow distant

in the back of my mind
I’d take back all the time that I spent thinking about you
I’d rewind this whole day
and I’m not gonna say all those things I was about to

Hello September,
all my hopes and dreams dismembered once again
I just need to remember
that she only needs a friend
a battle I lost long ago
soulmates with another soul
just need to get it through my head
think about something else instead

You don’t know how bad I want to feel indifferent
but it’s the only thing I’m not
and I’m so glad no one can listen
to the thoughts

inside my head
running round in circles waiting to be said
but I’d sooner throw them out instead

there are some things just better left alone
say’s the part of me wise enough to know
or you could take what you have earned
says the selfish boy, where did he get the nerve?
to think up such a thought
looks like someone forgot
his place within the story

now shut up, go to bed
push those thoughts from your head
you’ll feel better in the morning

Hello September,
all my hopes and dreams dismembered once again
I just need to remember
that she only needs a friend
a battle I lost long ago
soulmates with another soul
just need to get it through my head
think about something else instead

Nobody in the world ever gets what they want
And that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad
And that is beautiful

Nobody in the world ever gets what they want
And that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad
And that is beautiful
