Been out of touch but on my mind
When I see you on the street tonight
Catch my breath and hold my tongue
And bite back words that I've kept tucked behind my teeth

I'm too desperate to hate you
Lord I'm proud that I'm ashamed
To act blind when I might see
Maybe I'm the one who changed

Suddenly, I know I can't fix you
I know, I know I can't fix you

It was just a fleeting glimpse
Through a window in the crowd
I could stretch the truth of what this is
All the good that would do me

Anyhow, I know I can't fix you
I know, I know I can't fix you

Cuz you're exactly where you want to be
And I'm drunk here alone, face down on the couch
But being alone ain't so bad
Its just a fear that we all have
Its a fear of the things we have to face alone

Eventually, I'll know I can't fix you
And I'll know, I'll know I can't fix you
I'll know, I'll know I can't fix you
I'll know, I'll know I can't fix you

Like all these cracks in the sidewalks and the ones in my heart
I will fill them with these things that tear me apart

When I'm walking past your house with a brown paper bag
Its a drop of the poison running straight through my legs

When I'm walking past your house humming a song
Face down on the cushions is where I belong

As I sift through the static on my TV set
It reminds me that love lost ain't love's death

And I ain't dead yet
No I'm ain't dead
