Your Familiar Face Lyrics

You and I

Could be entwined in love for the rest of our lives

And yet I can't begin

To utter words of my affection within (to you)


But love always finds a way to speak out

I'll write the words I can't form with my mouth

And I'll wait for you to change your mind

And to find - find the love you keep inside


I'll write you these letters that speak straight from my heart

I'll tell you my secrets and share all my dreams with you

But love is lost on you, as it seems

So I try to move on, but still

Your familiar face lingers around


You should be

Composing symphonies of love with me

And yet it's he and not me

This world was meant for only two and not three (two, not three)


I suppose it isn't your fault you don't care (not your fault you don't care)

'Cause no one said that this life would be fair

But when you scatter these letters across my heart ('cross his heart)

You leave (him) - leave me with a burning scar


I wrote you these letters that spoke straight from my heart

I told you my secrets and shared all my dreams with you

But love is meaningless, as it seems

So I try to move on, but still

Your familiar face lingers around


You will never understand what

It is like to be torn down and forgot

To live life ever needing what

Will forever be outside of your clutch

You have left me alone with my mind

You have left me to discover my sinister side


But still, your familiar face lingers around...
