| I slowly started chipping away at this block of stone
|
| In an attempt to fashion a way to regain your attention
|
| Why won’t you hear me out?
|
| I started out with some paper and pen and my apologies
|
| But every time I try to write to you
|
| I just can never find the words to explain
|
| So I’ll build a monument to honor you
|
| Out of the ruins of the love I knew
|
| I’ll turn your favorite memories into a sight for all to see
|
| Because I know when you see it, you’ll come back to me
|
| Picked me up the phone and I started to dial your line from memory
|
| Too proud to ever let you pickup
|
| Close to the point where I should give up
|
| You’ll never call me back
|
| So now I’m doing something tangible — I’m working with my hands
|
| Because I can never seem to manage to say I’m sorry in a language you can
|
| comprehend
|
| So I’ll build a monument to honor you
|
| Out of the ruins of the love I knew
|
| I’ll turn your favorite memories into a sight for all to see
|
| Because I know when you see it, you’ll come back to me
|
| I’ll put it right outside your window
|
| So it’s impossible to ignore
|
| Will that be good enough for you? |
| (for you)
|
| And even if you pulled your shades down
|
| And burn the statue to the ground
|
| It’ll be enough to bring your warmth back to me
|
| A monument to honor you
|
| Out of the ruins of the love I knew
|
| I’ll turn your favorite memories into a sight for all to see
|
| Because I know when you see it, you’ll come back to me
|
| Building a monument to honor you
|
| Out of the ruins of the love I knew
|
| I’ll turn your favorite memories into a sight for all to see
|
| Because I know when you see it, you’ll come back to me
|
| Come back to me |
