buffer overflow

through the window i can see
a girl that once was close to me
but now she seems so far away

i wave at her she waves at me
each of us feeling differently
why does it have to be this way

i’m so in love but i can’t have
what means most to me
and it kills me inside

it kills me inside

screaming silently late at night
i reach out and turn on the light
i don’t want to feel this way

tears are falling from my eyes
inside a part of me now dies
but what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger

i’m so in love but i’m afraid i’m falling
further down than i can handle
and it kills me inside

it kills me inside

i must be strong i must be true
‘cause i don’t want to lose friendship too
for this is what i fear the most

now all that’s left to do
is rebuild parts of what i had with you
but this will be the hardest part

i’m so in love but i cannot remain
so foreign and distant from you
as it kills me inside

it kills me inside
it kills me inside
