Discovering the Waterfront Songtext
von Silverstein

I will promise myself I won′t care
Distracting myself from your stare
And I've seen this mistake once before
With your games, I will never fall for

I′ve hung up my guns
I won't kill again

I won't forget you (I won′t forget you)
I′m not gonna let you win (not gonna)
But I'm tired of lying, tired of fighting you
And it′s not gonna change

You asked for my heart
You know that I'm down
But not the way you lie to me, you tear it all apart
And beg for me to stay
I′ve sailed off to sea (sailed off to sea)
I'm not coming back


I won′t forget you (I won't forget you)
I'm not gonna let you win (we′re gonna)
But I′m tired of the lying, tired of fighting you
And it's not gonna change

Counting down
Make that sounds
When you know it makes no sense
Counting down
′Til you mess around
When I know you can't ever change

Why I′m trembling?
Thrown overboard
When I'm ready to relive the past
Counting down
Make that sounds
Break the silence

Pretend it′s not forever (pretend it's not forever)
Pull myself together (pull myself together)
Say that I'll forget her (say that I′ll breathe)
And I′ll say she never hurt me (say she never hurt me)
Look at it as learning (looking at his hurt)
Laugh about the good and the bad


Because I won't live forever
We don′t belong together
I know I'll feel better
One day when I can make it through

I won′t forget you (I won't forget you)
I′m not gonna let you win (I'm not gonna)
I'm tired of lying, tired of fighting you
And it′s not gonna change (it′s not gonna change)

I won't forget you (can′t forget you)
Not gonna let you win (not gonna)
I'm tired of the lying, tired of fighting you
And it′s not gonna change
