lyrics
it's been so long
since you've shown me a sign of life
this feeling comes and goes
but it's here tonight
this time the hurt isn't worth
putting up the fight
I wish my head could tell my heart
how to get it right
I thought I'd be someone you'd love by now
should I keep on waiting
while you keep fading?
I keep holding on to nothing
with every move I make I only push you away
why must I kill everything that I try to save?
some want it all but it's only you I crave
with every word I write I'm only digging my grave
I thought I'd be someone you'd love by now
I'd give you anything you want
but you want anything but me
you have everything you need
and that's anyone but me
since you've shown me a sign of life
this feeling comes and goes
but it's here tonight
this time the hurt isn't worth
putting up the fight
I wish my head could tell my heart
how to get it right
I thought I'd be someone you'd love by now
should I keep on waiting
while you keep fading?
I keep holding on to nothing
with every move I make I only push you away
why must I kill everything that I try to save?
some want it all but it's only you I crave
with every word I write I'm only digging my grave
I thought I'd be someone you'd love by now
I'd give you anything you want
but you want anything but me
you have everything you need
and that's anyone but me
