I did not mean to fail you now
Got caught up in this quest for perfection
I won't fade into life's big background
While you get what I can't have
Please lay down and let me pa**
I'm so afraid that this won't last
And I can't go on unnoticed
I reacted wrong to your good news
I'm sorry, but you're the one who failed me
Please lay down and let me pa**
I'm so afraid that this won't last
And I can't go on unnoticed
Close your eyes and don't look back and
I will try to forgive
Take your hand and place it on me
Don't you feel how hollow and empty I am?
I need this to fill me up
You took that
Don't take that away
I did not mean to fail you now
But you got exactly what I want and cannot have
So please lay down
And let me pa**
I'm so afraid that this won't last
And I'll go on unnoticed
I did not mean to fail you now
