I've been walking alone
Waiting for someone like you to come along,
To take my tortured heart by the hand
And force me to become strong
I'm so tired of hiding behind this
Smile I'm forcing that even
I don't recognize anymore
Do you know...
I'll never have all the answers and
You'll never have enough time,
But we'll sure have all the reasons
Why this isn't what we wanted to find
Do you know...
I'll never lay all my cards out even if
You just want to play because,
These days everything's all business
And there's a lack of arms around me now as I sleep
Do you know...
Sometimes I just want you to paint my face
And pretend I'm made of clay, to just start over
So someone could sculpt me into a better shape
Because I can feel myself slowly falling apart
So won't you come take a walk in my shoes
And maybe you will see then that it's not so easy
Trying not to love in spite of me...
Did you know...
Sometimes I find myself shaking in the middle of the night
Then it hits me and I can't believe this is my life...
Why do I make it so hard to love me?
Why would anyone even start to try?
Because I can see all my bridges burning now
As all the smoke is in my eyes...
Do you know....
I just wanted to always be right
But I've been wrong from the start
I've waited for you
Tried to make you happy
Closed my eyes and let you fall apart
And I wonder what you think you could possibly know
About breaking down that I don't....
Do you know...
It's been a long time since
I've begged for anything
But I'm begging you now
To lay me down on this bed of rust
I'm lonely help me shake it off like dust
I know you don't understand me
And you'll never even try...
But just know...
I don't mind killing all my time as long as
I can lay here by your side
And see that look in your eyes
The look of confusion and lust
As I remove this iron smile
That's been weighing me down too much
And when tomorrow comes
It will be just one more day that we don't find true love
Because we don't know what it means...
