I'm tired in defeat
I cannot bring you back to me
You fade from the dream
I cannot bring you home
It takes a lot out of me
Trying to imagine how you'd be
I've been through the scenes
I cannot bring you home
And these are the stories
That I told to keep you near
These are the stories
That I wrote to keep you near
For all my pretense
I cannot bring you back again
I don't have the strength
I cannot bring you home
And you fade from the dream
I'm tired in defeat
I cannot bring you home
