[Hook: Ashleigh Munn]
I can't do this on my own..
No, I need someone for when I'm alone..
So, could you just pick up your phone..
Oh, and tell me when you'll be home..
[Verse 1: Elusive]
Like I just need to see you by my side
I know I couldn't commit, it must be suicide
All I wanted was to change, but I ain't the tide
So when I saw you walk away, I thought, "At least she tried.."
And take it all in stride, we can begin new
When people use us, the bruises don't turn the skin blue
But it hurts inside, at my loneliest
I guess love can only exist, within you
And if not I guess you fear what
I feel for you, I try to leave but I hear "Stop!"
It's in my mind, I ain't in earshot
So before I disappear, just smear a teardrop
Across the last verse I ever write you
Cause it ain't about the pain, it's what it took to fight through
Another sleepless nightmare, the memories I'm tied to
Hoping this ain't gonna k** me, but I know it might do..
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Elusive]
The show's over now, curtains draw
This is the future that I was certain for
I saw it coming, just not what it was
But out of us, now I know, you have been hurting more
Since you were trapped in a life you hate
Just treat this music like it's fire, cause it's my escape
And you know I'm in denial, when I'm drowning in the Nile
Screaming, see it's just myself I will annihilate
Like when you're lost inside a routine
Just wake up from the fake, and create a new dream
If I was king, then I'd make you queen
But I'm not, I am stuck at age seventeen
And it's the first time we ever met
It's been a long time, but still I don't forget
Cause we were both too nervous to speak then
So the first place we really got to meet, was on the internet..
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Elusive]
Years later, now I see your face
The feeling deep within, I know I can't replace
Because you moved my heart, out of place, and you're so far
But if we're stars, then I hope you and I can try and fill the space
I can't hide now, so I'm lifting up the rug
Forget the marijuana, you are my only drug
I didn't mean to tell you, I'm in love with you
I just needed somebody that I could hug.. And now I'm done, cause I..
[Hook]
