you're charming yet subtle
an exciting new solace
and i live for the words
but i'm dying for the touch
and as i'm falling in your eyes
your knowing smile, it catches all

chorus:
let's begin with a goodbye kiss
lament over what we'll miss
storybook finish from the start
get it together just to tear it apart
and pick up the pieces...

i knew it all along
it held all of the appeal
of a doomed attraction
just another half romance
leading to a full heartbreak
oh how fortune frowns upon desire

(chorus)

bridge:
we've given ourselves hope
could we smash it as well?
so little potential
but only time will tell...

(chorus)

can you help me pick up the pieces...
