| I can’t escape these walls I’ve built to keep you safe.
 | 
| To keep you in. If you will never see them. | 
| If you will never come.
 | 
| Nights alone have ruined me: I’m wrong again.
 | 
| I’m starved again, alone again, alone again, alone, alone, alone.
 | 
| I’m hearing you repeat the old, familiar phrase, «I just can’t cope»,
 | 
| I say I feel it too. | 
| But camaraderie is suffering. | 
| It feels like speaking
 | 
| tongues,
 | 
| maybe I’m lying if I’m still not close to you.
 | 
| Because after all this time I fall asleep just fine.
 | 
| No matter how it hurt I fall asleep just fine.
 | 
| Maybe I’m meant to be alone if I can’t pull these parts together…
 | 
| I’ve probably had enough time to sort this troubled mind to structure.
 | 
| So when you’ve had enough of being stuck with «given up»,
 | 
| please don’t apologize because I’ll understand just fine.
 | 
| Another bad night: we failed again. | 
| I don’t think we can fight this depression.
 | 
| But I’ll still try to ignore the signs that we are playing a losing game.
 | 
| We cannot create the same feelings. | 
| Comfort is not love. | 
| But is it close enough?
 | 
| I feel alone again. | 
| It’s setting in.
 | 
| I’m learning how to settle: please don’t give in. When you are close I am gone.
 | 
| Because where I am, I wont stay long.
 | 
| And I know it’s hard to wait for me when I’m afraid to let you near.
 | 
| But please don’t give in: I’ll clear my head one day.
 | 
| I’ll make you proud of me. | 
| Won’t always be so down.
 | 
| I will be closer to you.
 | 
| Please don’t give in.
 | 
| We are all scared. | 
| We are all stuck.
 | 
| Dreaming of better days that will never come.
 | 
| Let it go! | 
| Bring that smile back. | 
| Let it go!
 | 
| You know that we want you here. | 
| Please stop!
 | 
| Blacking out your days. | 
| Please stop!
 | 
| Saying that we will be better off without you.
 | 
| We will always find new ways to let each other down.
 | 
| New ways to scare ourselves. | 
| So if this is what you hold onto I will protect it.
 | 
| We burn with friendly fire.
 | 
| Breathe quick with anticipation, our imaginations will crush us
 | 
| but it is so hard to impress you when you’ve built these walls so high.
 | 
| But I want in. Tear you open leave you breathless and longing,
 | 
| show you that you are more than what you lack,
 | 
| I keep reminding myself I don’t fall in love just to fall apart.
 | 
| But I still believe in us. | 
| We can right this ship.
 | 
| If they don’t pull us away we will be legend.
 | 
| Save me, save me, handcuff me to this bed let me sweat through the sheets,
 | 
| until the voices stop and the hum quietly says your name,
 | 
| until I find a better way to say that I love you.
 | 
| (I want to know it doesn’t hurt) just remember that I knew you when and
 | 
| I will always come back for you
 | 
| (I want to know it doesn’t hurt you)
 | 
| I will come back for you.
 | 
| I will come back. |
