Lyrics

Yeah, I was all alone
Walking in the streetlight through the rain
Yeah, I'll be sleeping on my own
You had a certain tone
A cease and desist, yeah, I remember I missed it
To be living on my own
Tell me what to do
Tell me how to help
How easy is it ever to open up to you?
I was never there
I was never more
I was never more than a victim of collateral consequence to you
Tell me you want me
I want you too
I tell you I want you
I tell you I need you, but I have to
I have to draw the line
I'm on the way down over here
Just got to hold on
A failure by design
I wanted a way out, out of here
Screaming on the phone
Got to admit that I was longing to live
I might be better off alone (But I don't know for sure)
You were never there
You were never more
You were never more than a gifted delivery consequence, you know
I can't deal with this proximity
I have to draw the line
I'm on the way down over here
Just got to hold on
A failure by design
I wanted a way out, out of here
Tell me you want me
Tell me you need me
I want you too
I tell you I want you
I tell you I need you, but I have to
Tell me you want me
Tell me you need me
I want you too
I tell you I want you
I tell you I need you, but I have to
I have to draw the line
I'm on the way down over here
Just got to hold on
A failure by design
I wanted a way out, out of here
