I can picture your room,
Every time that I do,
We're alone in the back of my head,
All the notes on the wall,
And the pillow too small,
What I'd give to be back in your bed,
I don't wanna lose ya,
I don't wanna hurt ya,
But I did nonetheless,
You bring me closer to god,
But I'm not what you thought,
I'm adrift, I'm awake, I'm a mess,
So tell me why, tell me why, tell me why,
I can never get you off my mind,
And I could lie, say I'm fine, pull a smile,
But I think about you every single night,
Bring me to the fire,
Wash me in the water,
How am I supposed to leave this?
Write a song and hope you'll hear it?
Throw me to the lions,
Tell me I'm a liar,
How am I supposed to love you?
When I don't know how to tell you,
I wanna tell you,
Tell you,
They say you can't force a spark,
So I'll wait in the dark,
I'm a waste of your light anyway,
And what hurts me the most,
Is that you'll never know,
What you meant to the fool that I've been,
I don't wanna miss ya,
I don't wanna quit ya,
But I did nonetheless,
You pull me down to the ground,
With the speed of the sound,
That it took to regret what I did,
And I could lie, say I'm fine, pull a smile,
But I think about you every single night,
Bring me to the fire,
Wash me in the water,
How am I supposed to leave this?
Write a song and hope you'll hear it?
Throw me to the lions,
Tell me I'm a liar,
How am I supposed to love you?
When I don't know how to tell you,
I wanna tell you,
Tell you,
The letter that you wrote me,
Burning on my mind,
Over and over again,
I could read it backwards,
Every single line,
It hurts just as much as the first time I tried
Bring me to the fire,
Wash me in the water,
How am I supposed to leave this?
Write a song and hope you'll hear it?
Throw me to the lions,
Tell me I'm a liar,
How am I supposed to love you?
When I don't know how to tell you,
I wanna tell you,
Tell you,
