More than apathy, or empathy, maybe even sympathy
Like prefixes I'm standing, waiting for the clear
Everyone knows I'm in over my head
8:00 - you're on my mind
I try to disengage, myself from this whole reality
Say I agree with you, that it's all getting along
But I find another way to fall, and lose everything
as a sea becomes between us
I wish I knew I'd fallen in over my head
10:00 - you're on my mind
I attempt to close my eyes, but caffeine comfort
calls, and crying feels like a part of the past
becomes a part, maybe I won't act
She was yours all along; I won't come down
I love this torture, sweet remedy for happiness
Midnight - you're on my mind
and everyone knows she's on your mind
all the time, everyone knows I'm in over my head
Like a stranger I wish I could disengage
Myself from your reality, like a sympathy
that becomes a life that won't lead
All I wanted was to love, and be loved
But that was too much to ask for, from you
And I know why, and I feel ashamed to have even tried
Could have led you to believe I didn't
But that would have resulted in a lie, for my time
with you, I would have never saved your life
Fallen backwards, stuck in shock
I didn't know any better
After all, it was you who started this,
without consequence; I laid out a list
of why I can't do this, you trashed it
with your smiles and sweet caresses
Why I can't do this, why I can't do this
I couldn't hold back
and you left me to lie there, in the dark
as she begins to raise your heartbeat
back from the dead, drive until you lose the road
Wound me up, and threw me down
I'll admit to anything
Why I can live now, i'll never understand
I write for you everyday, and now I just pretend
that I never lost a friend, somewhere along in this
dizziness, wound me up, and lay me down
I'll take you for anything
Where were you,
when all I needed was the truth?
Lost along with time, all I needed was life
I'll write to you everyday, and now we can just pretend
that you never was a friend, and somewhere along in us
we wind up, and fall back down
Just take me, or take everything
When all I needed, was you.
