In your mother's arms
Ain't that where you should be
In your father's heart

As he waits patiently
But if you could find a way
To let me let you in

If you would only stay
Maybe we could win, maybe we could...


So you pulled away and
I'll change your mind
You never could tell but we're fighting with time

And there'll come a day
When you'll realize
I needed you all along to survive


We're not breaking down these walls
We're burning down the house

And I'm burning one down
Cuz it's the only thing that helps
Painting melancholy words

On an atrophying heart
So reckless with the words
But have been from the start, and I should've known


[Refrain]


So you pulled away
Can I change you mind...?


So you pulled away
And I'm screaming 'why?'
I promised you things would be better this time

There'll come a day
When you realize
You needed me all along to survive

You needed me
You needed me
You needed me...


But she's saying "No,
We lost but we tried...

And I'm sure that you'll meet
Another in time,
So goodbye...
