Three sleepless nights
|
This isn't how its supposed to be.
|
But you're so good at
|
taking your time to get back to me.
|
|
I will wait for you forever,
|
if you would just ask me.
|
I thought that I could change you
|
but you changed me.
|
|
It doesn't feel right,
|
holding someone else's hand.
|
Together on phone line,
|
and living at two opposite ends.
|
|
It scares me to think,
|
that you could find takers other than me
|
and better than me.
|
|
But your head is elsewhere,
|
and I'm talking enough for both of us.
|
When will you see it's not (it's not) so easy for me
|
|
You're careless, and whispered, insulting, and bruising.
|
(I fall from you eyes, your eyes I trusted)
|
And I thought that you said things were improving.
|
(I fall from you eyes, you said forever)
|
These laces are untied, (I fall from you eyes...)
|
but my feet are still walking away.
|
Away
|
|
I never thought that you could say these words.
|
Is this really happening?
|
I never thought that you could say these words. (Don't say...)
|
Is this really happening?
|
I never thought that you could say these words. (Don't say that we can...)
|
Is this really happening?
|
I never thought that you could say these words. (Don't say that we can still be...)
|
Is this really happening?
|
I never thought that you could say these words. (Don't say that we can still be friends)
|
Is this really happening?
|
|
Erase my name from this page.
|
|
How can you take all these days
|
(What is inside of me what have I done?)
|
and throw them away
|
(Is this the only way that you will notice me?)
|
as I sit here waiting for you (for you)
|
(Dead words for closed ears all this is sung for you)
|
|
I stay up nights
|
(If you are still pretending this is what's right)
|
until stars leave the sky
|
(Why can't you look at me can you only see?)
|
knowing what my dreams can take away
|
(One side, your side, can take away)
|
Walk away from me.
|
This night is done.
