"As Good As It Gets" lyrics

Staring in the eyes of a reflection looking back
And I can't find a single word to say
Cos I've been here a thousand times through different rooms on different nights
And I always let the moment fade away

But I can't afford to lose tonight
And I know I might not see it twice
And I don't want to be living with regret
Cos I always seem to sacrifice
And every time I compromise
I realise there might be nothing left

And this could be as good as it gets
This could be as good as it

As I put my arms around you as you're standing by the stairs
Let me find the words you need to hear
Cos you've been here a thousand times through different rooms on different nights
And the message that I speak is crystal clear

Cos you can't afford to lose tonight
And you know you might not see it twice
And although I'll tell you something I'll forget
Cos I always seem to sacrifice
And every time I compromise
I realise there might be nothing left

And this could be as good as it gets
This could be as good as it

Stood there in the silence every breath is amplified
But I know every single word to speak
Cos I've been here a thousand times through different rooms on different nights
There's a broken voice that echoes through the street

And I can't afford to lose tonight
Cos I know this one won't come round twice
With the embers of a rolled up cigarette
I think about the sacrifice
And all the things I compromised
Just to realise there might be nothing left

This could be as good as it gets
This could be as good as it gets
This could be as good as it gets
This could be as good as
This could be as good as it gets
