Powerless

Bright as day flashes the smile that's not for me,

It took some time to realize that I need to set you free

Yeah we're friends but it still hurts like a dagger in my heart

When you look at her like forever has just begun to start

And, despite everything I thought I knew

I can't help it that I'm still in love with you

We have conversations like it's September again

Before I ruined absolutely everything,

Everything

Despite the heat of summer in February,

I'm cold as glass shattered by the burden I can't carry

I am not allowed to unlock this box of emotion

But you still have my undying devotion

And, despite everything I thought I knew

I can't help it that I'm still in love with you

Push it down over and over until now the words are stuck

My throat closes over the throes of an unrequited love

Drowning in the memories of us, I wonder how you could forget

But then when you talk to me I think maybe you haven't yet

And, despite everything I thought I knew

I can't help it that I'm still in love with you
