Ask me no questions
And I'll tell you no lies
When all is said and done
Does it really matter
who's wrong or right?
Don't ask me for a reason,
I can't explain
Why we hurt one other again and again
As I lie bleeding here
I still reach for you
[Chorus:]
A thousand days, a thousand days
Have passed away
A thousand days, a thousand days
Were captured in her eyes
Your eyes are open now but you know
It's still hard to see inside
When action and intention
Are two separated things
Now I somehow wish I could explain
Why we hurt one another again and again
Like someone on his dying breath
I still reach for you
[Chorus]
Forever we've been
trapped by our hearts
trapped by our minds
I'd like to leave
I'd like to win at love
But I just can't let it go
And I just can't watch it slipping away
And I just can't let it go
And I just can't stand another minute
Maybe now someday our shattered lives
Will mend themselves again
But now a million miles away
I wish I still could,
And though I somehow know,
I can't explain
Why we hurt one other again and again
Like someone on his dying breath,
I still reach for you
A thousand days, a thousand days... (2x)
