about

This was also written for Gary to sing, but Lee ended up singing it as well. But it's NOT a solo album, honest. Anyway, this too was based on a band jam, so the guys get a co-write, even though all of the parts were programmed or performed by Lee alone.

lyrics

You never ask me if I want to see you
I always wonder if you care at all
I try to show you all the ways I need you
But you walk away the moment you see me fall.

You tell me that we're gonna last forever
You tell me that we both want the same things
I want to take you at your word but somehow
You always know the right excuse to bring.

BRIDGE:
I don't want to hear
The ways I've let you down
You know, I've been let down, too
I can't fix our broken world
When you refuse to let me
Do what I can do.

REFRAIN:
So tell me what you want from me
Or tell me you're needing something more
I keep holding up the line
In case you finally tell me what you need me for.

We used to share so many special things
I've grown accustomed to your smile
I reach for you but you just shrink away
We haven't been right in a long, long while.

We spent the best months of our lives in this space
Now every second here is filled with pain
Don't understand what made you change your heart
Won't ever feel a love so strong again

BRIDGE:
I don't want to hear
The ways I've let you down
You know, I've been let down, too
I can't fix our broken world
When you refuse to let me
Do what I can do.

[INSTRUMENTAL]

REFRAIN:
So tell me I'm the one for you
Or tell me there's no room for me
I keep holding up the line
In case you finally decide to set me free.

I used to think we were the perfect pairing
I used to tell all of my friends we're gonna last
I never thought you'd turn your back on me
I've never seen a train back up so fast.

I'm trying to get myself together
Trying to pack up and move on
Trying to put these memories in storage
Hope I forget you when you're gone.

REFRAIN:
So tell me how you yearn for me
Or tell me you're needing someone new
I'm just holding up the line
In case you finally tell me what to do.
