The Way You Smile

I don't want another fairytale to fix me 
I don't want to let him in because i don't trust me 


How will this ever begin
Im standing here waiting
its quarter past ten
I look at you 
looking right back at me.
when I smile 
there you smile 
We're 10 steps behind and zero ahead 
But i know down in my heart, 
things are better off unsaid 


Its a cold frosty morning, 
there you are looking my way
as i close my eyes 
I see us dancing under the moonlight 
You take my hand
while we awkwardly stand 
the walls that were built 
come tumbling down 
while this frown 
turns upside down
and we both smile 
drowning in eachothers eyes


There is more than distance between us
but we both know 
that we have lost this thing called trust 
i'll thank you for being there 
but Its time for me to leave
we're 10 steps behind and zero ahead 
But I know things will always be better 
off unsaid
