lyrics

INTRO - So you wonder why
I keep callin' you
I guess you think
I have nothin' better
to do
but the truth is
I'm not in love
with the idea of us
being through

V1 - You say you wanna go and
clear your mind
and that maybe
we can do this another time
but I ain't got time to lie
to myself
or to you
about
how I'm feeling
this pain is like a second skin
hell is my ceiling
why can't we start all over again?
you and I
have crossed an untraceable line
forever etched into my heart
and it’ll break if our ending starts

V2- Why did you come and turn my world
upside down?
I feel like I'm slowly being drowned
into a neverending abyss of
desolation and loneliness
where’s salvation?
Wondering if I gave
my very best
but if you thought I did
then I wouldn't have to
call you ike this
what should I have given more of?
maybe we coulda argued a little less
all I wanted to do was be your girl,
a constant source of love
in such an empty world
and give you all the good things
you never had
tell me, was I really all that bad?

V3 - forgive me for thinking you were my superman
(sent to rescue me)
with clarity I see
that you were quite weak
but i can't live in insanity
and
I'm gettin' really scared
because you're acting like you never cared
and
what happened to the man who'd love me for me and said he’d never leave
were you afraid of what you saw?
i guess love exposes flaws
after bliss wears off
but
wasn't i worth enough for you
to cover the cost?

I've never been this deep
I’m put to shame when I hear your voice
Can’t sleep or eat
Never got to say I wanted to stay or leave
You took my choice and
I’m starting to grieve
The death of the familiar
And the depth of we
Baby what about the plans we talked about
Like creating a family and movin’ down south
All lovely hopes and memories
were stolen by your instability
and
your mom called and said she hopes
we work it out
but
i couldn't answer the phone and let her
hear my doubt
--V4--
In the past few days, all I’ve done is
sit and sit and contemplate
if
I may have made a bad decision
choosing love as my religion
but
atheism ain’t for me
and neither is being lonely
I don't really wanna cry right now
but I know you can hear the tears comin' down

I wish I could act like I never knew you
But wishes don’t always come true
I’m sittin’ here lost and confused
Wondering what to do
I don't know whether to stay or to go
But I had to call and let you know
That I ‘m not
here to be a fool for you
but I will
love
you still
no matter what you choose to do

ENDING
please come around
I'm praying forgiveness and love
Are found and renewed
hopin’ this message gets to you
you can stop playing now
I get the point you were trying to prove
