lyrics

“I Won’t” by Alfa Garcia © 2008

Verse 1: On the floating pier we held our thumbs to the sky
Blocked out the moon, uncovered secrets in the dark
You told me how you’d go and save the world
And somehow we’d find ourselves togethere again

Pre-chorus: Too strong, too fast
To keep safe in our hands
We’re here by chance
Did we ever understand?

CHORUS
How do we walk away, as if this never happened?
How do I fool myself when I’m trying to move on?
Why are we letting go, to keep ourselves from falling?
How do I say goodbye?
I won’t.

Verse 1: On the drive back home the thoughts escaped from my lips
Do you sometimes think there is no point to this?
Tomorrow you’ll be gone on a plane to somewhere
Maybe years from now you’ll call my name on the street

Pre-chorus: Too strong, too fast
To keep safe in our hands
We’re here by chance
Did we ever understand?

CHORUS

Bridge: And as for me, I’ll be fine
I’ll stay here and pass the time
And you’ll try to just forget
We’re probably too different.

Breakdown: How do we walk away, as if this never happened?
How do I fool myself when I’m trying to move on?
(FULL) Why are we letting go, to keep ourselves from falling?
How do I say goodbye?

CHORUS
I won’t (4x)
