Verse 1

I've hardly been outside my room in days,
'cause i don't feel that i deserve the sunshine's rays.
The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away,
It was then I realised the conscience never fades.
When you're young you have this image of your life,
that you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife.
And you'll make boundaries you never dream to cross,
and if you happen to you wake completely lost.

Bridge

But I will fight for you,
be sure that i will fight until we're the special two once again.

Chorus

And we will only need each other we'll bleed together, our hands will not be
taught to hold another's,
'Cause we're the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'll breathe together, these arms will
not be taught to need another's,
'Cause we're the special two.
        

Verse 2

I remember someone old once said to me,
that 'lies will lock you up with truth the only key'.
But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell,
and couldn't see this place could soon become my hell.
So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?
Well i guess the answer is don't do it in the first place.
I know i'm not deserving of your trust from you right now,
Oh, but if by chance you change your mind you know i will not let you down
'Cause we were the special two, and will be again.

Chorus

And we will only need each other we'll bleed together, our hands will not be
taught to hold another's,
'Cause we're the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'll breathe together, these arms will
not be taught to need another's,
'Cause we're the special two.
I step outside my minds eye's for a minute
And i look over me like a doctor looking for disease or something
that could ease the pain.
But nothing cures the hurt you,
Bring on by yourself,
Just remembering, just remembering how we were 

Final Chorus

And we would only need each other we'd bleed together, these hands would not be
taught to hold another's,
'Cause we're the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'd breathe together, these arms will
not be taught to need another's,
'Cause we're the special two.
