Unfair
(Kate Voegele)

The city sleeps so silently
I wish I could say the same for me
But I’ve got this dead-ended street
To keep searching for a tunnel underneath
The bitter truth, or a bridge, invisible;
I won’t fall through

I don’t know how much I can keep
Letting you unravel me
‘Cause the more you learn
The more we share
And we were worlds apart
And you see, it was so much easier to be
‘Cause now I know what we can't have and
It’s so unfair

I never meant most of those pretty words I said
But I wanted you to think I did
‘Cause telling you all this makes no difference; it’s useless
‘Cause those who get to know our hearts the most
They always seem to be the ones we’ll never hold

I don’t know how much I can keep
Letting you unravel me
‘Cause the more you learn
The more we share
And we were worlds apart
And you see, it was so much easier to be
‘Cause now I know what we can't have and
It’s so unfair

Can’t you see, it’s destroying me?
I can’t stand the closeness
But don’t you dare go avoiding me
It kills me yet it keeps me going

I don’t know how much I can keep
Letting you unravel me
‘Cause the more you learn
The more we share
And we were worlds apart
And you see, it was so much easier to be
‘Cause now I know what we can't have and
It’s so unfair
