The nightingale sings a song for free
Sounds like my own symphony
I'm almost hypnotized by the sound
I wake up and you're not around
Here things are moving very slow
Especially when it comes to letting go

[Chorus:] Never thought the situation
Would reach this place
Never thought I'd see a stranger
When I see your face
Can't believe I feel alright 'bout
Walking away
But I feel okay
Even in defeat
It's bittersweet

One by one the walls came down it's true
And god knows that we built a few
There's only one left around and that's you
But it's left me with quite a view
Of the world that I've only seen
Somewhere in a magazine

[Chorus:] Never thought the situation
Would reach this place
Never thought I'd see a stranger
When I see your face
Can't believe I feel alright 'bout
Walking away
But I feel okay
Even in defeat
It's bittersweet

Every time that we come close to finding a
Solution
You seem to find it impossible to say
I'll meet you halfway
I just pray you'll be happy someday

[Chorus:] Never thought the situation
Would reach this place
Never thought I'd see a stranger
When I see your face
Can't believe I feel alright 'bout
Walking away
But I feel okay
Even in defeat
It's so bittersweet
