I went far away (far away), you know (you know)
Didn’t think hurt could follow me 6000 miles from my home
But it finds me here, within these walls in this building
And nothings changed (nothings changed) except time of day
I just can’t seem to sleep when you’re away
Confined to this room with a TV screen and nothing to do
Hurt is here to stay, I’ll grow
Keep me in the dark not knowing if everything is ok
You should fill me in or fill me up
I wish I could stay, but now I’m stuck inside a dream
She’s like a ghost ~ my heart says maybe and my mind says let it go
I’ve only washed one hand well, afraid to jump but might as well
Moving on isn’t making sense
There’s no way to explain no self defense
I’m backed up against the wall, something’s gotta give
Why do I always have to play this part?
You say you need your space, I’ll wait
If I could just let it go I swear everything would be ok
I dwell too much I’m not that strong I’m oblivious to what went wrong
Time and place, you say, it’s me or it’s you anything to get me out of your face
There’s nothing left the water’s still
You say don’t try but you know I will
Moving on isn’t making sense
There’s no way to explain no self defense
I’m backed up against the wall, something’s gotta give
Why do I always have to play this part?
