lyrics

I bet you're feeling it now
And it creeps up on you night after night yeah
It encases all your bones and takes over your role
You take some time to yourself as it takes control

You've got your look, but baby I'm blind
I've got my touch and this doesn't feel right
I can't believe after all this time you run. You run.

if you're who you say you are
This would have never happened
Liar from the start, another thief in the night
Playing along just to be polite
I tried, so maybe in the next life

So what will it take for you to feel the same?
From time to time I can't get this weight of my mind
Night after night I build the nerve

To formulate a plan and escape the tower you left me in
With all these ghosts who can't help but notice your flaws
They tell me that I'm just another notch.

This unknowing is now my surrounding
I've been here before and that's comforting
Struggling, trying to find what I've been waiting for
And I've been waiting for you
You lifted a hand, and with one touch turned me to stone
A feeling similar to feeling alone
I can make it through
And I will make it through
But not for you

Tonight these feelings die, to grow
In to a lesson that'll I'll learn on my own
Until I get this inside and out
I know I'll make it through
But not for you
