i count the steps from where i am
 to where i started
 i tap my feet
 and close the door, to your apartment
 and i know youre never gonna understand

 its too late for you to stop and think
 too late to mention
 i make a move and spill my drink
 to break the tension
 i know youre never gonna understand
 ill try my best to follow if i can, but

 i would have let you leave (x3)

 the static waves across the screen
 define this notion
 back and forth and in between
 like my emotion
 and i know youre never gonna understand
 and wont you slow this down oh if you can

 you swayed your hips and stole the breathe
 that i was taking
 i touched your lips and held your hands
 when they were shaking

 look how we've fallen upon our knees
 how we forgot it
 these empty halls held our disease
 before we caught it
 now out the door and down the stairs from your apartment
 i would have let you leave

 the static waves across the screen
 define this notion
 back and forth and in between
 like my emotion

 now out the door and down the stairs
 from your apartment
 i count the steps from where i am
 to where i started
 i would have let you (x3)
 i would have let you leave.
