lyrics

You are missed my dear by all of us here
We’ve all so much to tell you but none more than I do
Looking back on my day such a waste of time
Watch you forge your way forget mine

Is it too much to ask that this not end in tears
Is it too much to ask not to have lived in fear
Is it too much to ask that we’d remain friends
Is it too much to ask for a graceful end

You leaving didn’t start this longing
It started long before
If your leaving didn’t start this longing
Then you’re not what I’m longing for
You led me from this garden bound and tied
Watch me take the blame, big surprise

Is it too much to ask that this not end in tears
Is it too much to ask not to have lived in fear
Is it too much to ask that we’d remain friends
Is it too much to ask for a graceful end

Are there parts of me I didn’t share with you
If there were you’d be the one to ask
This boy who loved you will never cease to be
He loved you with all his heart
But he’s not the man that I need to be
And even he would lose his charm
Well I can’t face facts if you’re still with me
So it’s best we stay apart

Is it too much to ask that this not end in tears
Is all that binds me to you this trembling fear
Is it really so strange that we’d remain friends
So I hold onto hope of a graceful end
