Lyrics

I am wondering now why you ever let me share your bed I am wondering now why there were things that you never said I am figuring out you don’t need to love what occupies your time As long as when the sun goes down you’re not alone through the still of the night But it’s not that easy just to turn your back and leave But that’s what you did trying to prove something to me I’ve grown leaps and bounds since the days when I was little more than your escape All thanks to faith in change and malleable bars on a rusted cage I was a little too naïve thinking it was due time that I be saved Like I was owed happiness eager not to die by expiration date But I can’t help thinking that you knew that I was weak And you preyed on me while I prayed at your feet Chorus: Don’t know the point of the dream Maybe I was only born to be your stepping stone Resigned my bones to the ravine Made me far less afraid to leap on faith alone There’s a couple hundred miles in between what I am and what I feel I wrote you letters now that I know you never read because they’re all still sealed Might have been a waste of ink, or worse, maybe it was a waste of love Because hope doesn’t float, it sinks if you don’t give an inch when push comes to shove All I ever wanted was to know what I was worth I like to think I’m what you wanted, but you just couldn’t find the words I’ve got a list of doubts about damn near everything that I believe But I’ve got no place to go, and it seems that I’m fresh out of tricks up my sleeve I have one photo left that I try to keep out of the light of the sun If it’s all I have of you ‘til death, I suppose one smile is better than none Every day’s a struggle not to dwell on what you said Oh yes, every day’s a struggle not to get lost in my head
