lyrics

She took the fall for the words that I said
I need an excuse to get her out of my head
I meant it all, and I'd do it again
If not for love then for a trusted friend
All my years are starting to run me down
And I've been looking around in fear

I took too long, she gave me her time
But I wasn't careful enough to keep myself in line
Was I wrong? Am I losing my mind?
If only I'd seen myself through someone else's eyes
All my fears are starting to run me down
And I've been looking around for years

I feel ashamed, I've been put in my place
Her voice is a whisper that keeps me up for days
Was I to blame? Am I being erased?
If not for love then for a passing phase
All my years are starting to run me down
And I've been looking around in fear

I've been here before, and I'm losing my grace
In a perfect world and in a perfect sort of way
She'll bring me love, and I'll make her sway
If only I'd been wise enough to be the one to stay
All my fears are starting to run me down
And I've been looking around for years

All my years are starting to run me down
and I've been looking around in fear
