Guess we knew this was coming on
‘Cause you’re already gone in my head
You can tell me that I’m wrong
That you’re staying with me instead
When winter’s come along
And summer’s dead and gone
Is there anything left here to say?
I can put my arms around the emptiness I found
And find a way to make you stay
But I’m standing still
I’m standing still
As you leave me now
I’m standing still
I’m standing still
As you’re walking out
Yeah, I’m just standing still
Now before I felt so strong
And pieces of me break so easy
What I thought would be the end
Is just the feeling that you freed me
Girl, this ain’t giving up
It’s knowing where to stop
Knowing when a thing is over
I know my life is blind
See for the first time
This ain’t gonna bring us closer
'Cause I’m standing still
I’m standing still
As you leave me now
Yeah, I’m standing still
I’m standing still
As you’re walking out
I’m standing still
And I’m just standing still
As you leave me now
And I’m just standing still
When winter’s come along
And summer’s dead and gone
Is there anything left here to say?
I can put my arms around
The emptiness I found
And find a way to make you stay
I’m standing still
I’m standing still
As you leave me now
Yeah, I’m standing still
I’m standing still
As you’re walking out
I’m just standing still
I’m standing still
Yeah, I’m just standing still
Just standing still
