V1.
Another day, another quiet day watching as you slip and fall
Foiled again, as I try and pull you out of the hole
But you never reached for my trembling hand, as it slowly withers into a pile of sand
V2.
Another change, another hopeless moment as I slowly blame my rising desperation
In the end, what were we apart from friends?
And I watch your face, cold and colourless; like those dolls of china, wishing, waiting that we could talk about it
Bridge
Spoke about it
Chorus
And I don’t want to hear you pray
And I don’t want to face today
And I wish I had your way
And I wish you were here to stay
V3
Another lie; another time to cover up the demons inside
Look at you, so big bold beautiful, and out of touch
What remorse, aren’t we happy now we know we lost?
Bridge
Know we lost
Chorus
And I don’t want to hear you pray
And I don’t want to face today
And I wish I had your way
And I wish you were here to stay
Coda
Sometimes, it don’t go the way you planned
Oh no, it just ends up breaking
And aren’t we the ones that should put it right?
Don’t walk out on me without a fight
You were the one to made me see the light
Now I’m nothing but blind sight
So give me some sympathy
A little hope, and empathy
Cause I’m lost without your dignity
So glad I can no longer see
‘Cause all it took was a forsaken look,
Smoke cigarettes and drink wine all day
Take love like its no right to me
Now I need you to be
Don’t say we’re too different to be right,
‘Cause anytime day or night, when you’re too alone to know how to fight,
I’ll be there; I’ll be there
So anytime I’ll come running, pick you up from the mess that you’ve made
I’ll be there; I’ll be there
