Frustration Alibi

The last time I tried to talk to you, did I get anything new through to you? It's getting harder to live this way. So why don't we try this one more time. Take my word or watch me die. I'm building walls just to stay alive, it's frustration's alibi. And it's everything I've got right now you said that you could make it last. Don't bother calling, I'm not at home. The last time you came to restrain me, when you cut me open I wouldn't bleed. Cuz nothing's ever felt more real to me. I refuse relief.
 
 
Anyone

I'll take you anywhere you wanna go. Believe my words and I'll let you down for the last time cuz I've resolved to tell you now. We could still make believe there's hope for us in me, I'm tired of faking like I'm here to stay for good cuz... I walked a thousand miles for you and didn't sleep a wink. I walked until I lost myself and then I stopped to think. I said I'd never give my heart to no one, I said I'd never give myself to anyone, I'll challenge everything that gets me undone, I'm never gonna lose myself to anyone! Oh I'm talking here in circles now. Is this where I want to be? Please excuse my loss of interest. Now I'll be the one left questioning all the validity: exaggerating everything we had in common.
 
Melody

Take a moment to reflect fortunately on everything that has been given to you. Cuz you called me from home to tell me you're all alone and the sound of you breathing from your end of the phone has been burned into my memory. I'd love you anyway. With or without telling me. Don't you feel it too? Sing me a melody...something so soft and insecure. Sing me a melody. One more time, sing it loud (this is what you are). If you asked me "tell me what you see. What do you see inside of this wreck?" I'll remind you how great you are. Just remember that when the place you call home is the place that you fear the most, don't let anyone tell you that you're standing alone. It's doing wonders for your misery. Sing me a melody...this is the song I promised you. Sing me a melody. One more time sing it loud.
