Must be a pretty picture I paint
It's hard not to laugh for the shame
Hands bloodied from trying to tear down your walls
Voice hoarse from calling your name
Tonight I think I've learned my lesson
Would that it always would be
Unseeing eyes cannot lead the blind
On deaf ears falls no melody
I can't wake you if you're just pretending to sleep
Sometimes I try all the same
It's always a losing game
It's taken a long while to see
All you are you can't help but be
I can't say that it really does much to erase
All the heartache you gave to me
Sometimes I make mountains of molehills
Sometimes I'm full of clichés
Sometimes you'd rather bury your head in the sand
Than hear a word I have to say
I can't wake you if you're just pretending to sleep
Sometimes I try all the same
It's always a losing game
Must be a pretty picture I paint
It's hard not to laugh for the shame
Hands bloodied for trying to tear down your walls
Voice hoarse from screaming your name
It's always a losing game
It's always a losing game
