[Verse 1] We're driving slow through the snow on Fifth Avenue And right now radio's all that we can hear Now we ain't talked since we left, it's so overdue It's cold outside, but between us, it's worse in here [Pre-Chorus] The world slows down But my heart beats fast right now I know this is the part Where the end starts [Chorus] I can't take it any longer Thought that we were stronger All we do is linger Slipping through our fingers I don't wanna try now All that's left's good-bye To find a way that I can tell you [Post-Chorus] I hate this part right here I hate this part right here I just can't take your tears I hate this part right here [Verse 2] Everyday, seven takes of the same old scene Seems we're bound by the laws of the same routine Gotta talk to you now before we go to sleep But will we sleep once I tell you what's hurting me? [Pre-Chorus] The world slows down But my heart beats fast right now I know this is the part Where the end starts [Chorus] I can't take it any longer Thought that we were stronger All we do is linger Slipping through our fingers I don't wanna try now All that's left's good-bye To find a way that I can tell you [Post-Chorus] I hate this part right here I hate this part right here I just can't take your tears I hate this part right here [Bridge 1] I know you'll ask me to hold on And carry on like nothing's wrong But there is no more time for lies 'Cause I see sunset in your eyes [Chorus] I can't take it any longer (can't take this) Thought that we were stronger All we do is linger Slipping through our fingers (it's slipping through our fingers) I don't wanna try now All that's left's good-bye (goodbye now) To find a way that I can tell you [Bridge 2] That I gotta do it I gotta do it I gotta do it I hate this part I gotta do it I gotta do it I gotta do it [Outro] Oh, I hate this part right here I hate this part right here I just can't take these tears I hate this part right here
