Lately

Every night you sang

I fell in love with all the hope and secrets that you gave

And everything can change when you are both afraid

Suspicious of the way you talk and things you did not say

But you were so used to the feeling of this pain

Every time you hurt yourself you helped the ones you blamed

And I tried so hard

And you tried so hard"¦but

Maybe all you need is to be here by yourself

Lately it's the same thing that you've done to everyone else

You were so intense

And maybe now you see the error of your ways

Too late to understand the feelings you could not explain

The farther you alter all you say and do

The harder it is to get this through to you
