Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
And all you know
And how you speak
Countless lovers undercover of the street
Off in the night
While you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me
Where were you, when everything was falling apart.
All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang
And all I needed was a call that never came
To the corner of 1st and Amistad
Lost and insecure, you found me,
Lying on the floor, surrounded,
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me.
But in the end everyone ends up alone
Losing her, the only one who's ever known
Who I am, who I'm not and who I wanna to be
No way to know how long she will be next to me
The early morning, the city breaks
And I've been calling for years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve taking all I want
I wish I could rip out a page of my memory
Cuz I put to much energy in healing me
Can't wait till I get through this phase
Cuz it's killing me
To bad we can't re-write our own history
Such a mystery when hes here with me
It's hard to believe I'm still lonely
Chances fading now, patience running out
This ain't how it's supposed to be
Seems only like yesterday, Not even gravity
Could keep your feet off the ground when u go to me
How can two be as one
We've become so divided now
There's no use hiding from my misery
How did we reverse the chemistry
I don't want us to be the end of me
This love is taking all of my energy
-where did i go wrong-
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did i go wrong?
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And would I have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
You will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came.
