Deep in a dream, dead of the night
I woke up to see shadows of what
We could never be, lyin' awake
Here in the dark, I see you for what you are
And I know I could never fill that need

'Cause you take and take
To fill that empty space
Until there is no trace
Of who I used to be

Whoa, I can't be the one to fix you
I wish I could but nobody's that strong
You know I tried

Whoa, I can't kill the pain within you
I'm getting off this trip, you took me on
Here's a kiss in a cup
Drink it when I'm gone

Now you deny the truth and the lies
As if they were the same
I took it all but I wont take the blame

'Cause I gave and gave
To try and heal that place
Until I had to face it
We were never ever meant to be

Whoa, I can't be the one to fix you
I wish I could but nobody's that strong
You know I tried

Whoa, I can't kill the pain within you
I'm getting off this trip you took me on
Here's a kiss in a cup
Drink it when I'm gone

I thought you were all I wanted
And all I ever needed
But the only truth you gave me
Was your name
Still I loved you all the same

You know I tried

Whoa, I can't be the one to fix you
I wish I could but nobody's that strong
You know I tried

Whoa, I can't kill the pain within you
I'm getting off this trip you took me on
Here's a kiss in a cup
Drink it when I'm gone
