three sleepless
nights
this isn't how it's supposed to be
but you're so good at taking your time
to give 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
but it doesn't
feel right
holding someone else's hand
together on phone lines
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 so easy for me
but you're careless
and whisper
insulting
and bruising
tied off
and you said
thanks for improving
these laces are
untied
but my feet are 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
is this really happening?
(don't say...)
i never thought
that you could say these words
is this really happening?
(don't say that we can...)
i never thought
that you could say these words
is this really happening?
(don't say that we can still be...)
i never thought
that you could say these words
is this really happening?
(don't say that we can still be friends)
how can you take
(what is inside me?)
all these things
(what have i done?)
and throw them away
(is this the only way that you'll notice me?)
as i sit here waiting
([?] all this is sung)
for you
and if you're still
pretending
(and i'm saying lines)
this is what's right
(until stars hit the sky)
why can't you look at me
can't you only see one side
(knowing what side can't)
your side can't take away
walk away from
me
this night is done
