in times when i could not find sleep
i would look to you for one more dream
and the tidal flood of what's at stake
leaves us questioning why we remain
and there's times when i can't think of you
and there's times when i can't see past you
i will lose no matter what they say
and watch the best ones slip away
i'm tired and lonely
i need more to go by
i'm tired i'm tired
(prechorus)
i see you dancing in the darkest night
and it gets out of hand of my hands
take all the songs that moved us let them die
cos they're holding me holding me back
(chorus)
and you were still right here
you were still right here
you were still right here
when days they seemed to fade away
and you were still right here
you were still right here
you were still right here
when faces seemed to fade away
i want you to know what i know
have everything back to keep them close
and i want to stretch this make this last
to bring everyone back from my past
and there's times when i fall into you
and i'll will my words to make you move
then i start us down a path to fame
to build us up with a good name and
i'm tired and lonely
i need more to go by
i'm tired i'm tired
(prechorus)
(chorus)
(coda)
hey i've got this chip upon my shoulder
yeah it's all i got for everything i gave up
you'd think i would have enough that i could go on
but now here i am it's what's still holding me back
do you dream in stereo
or cut your losses and go home
i think it's true we were meant to be
i think it's true you never got me at all
are you close if i should need you
are you there if all else falls apart
i'm so sorry for my awkward phrasing
i still need you more than i know to show
are you close if i should need you
are you there if all else falls apart
take your headphones turn up the volume
and know someone out there's thinking of you
cross your fingers pray there's something still there
tell me how we ever let things get oh so far
all i wanted was to hold you touch you
but who i was he couldn't tell you the truth
who am i to tell you that i love you
who am i to say anything at all
who am i to be the one who loves you
who am i to say anything at all
goodbye the time has come
i'll miss you
