I confess that I have been living life With both my bitter eyes shut tight Throw myself into an endless mud But you keep my head above and dry Too busy in the clouds to see I weigh you down Too keen on my own voice to sense you're not around But if I lose you And if you loosen up a grip On a heart that you stole How can it beat? Lover, I've failed you And I have been failing in every way That I could have let you know Just how much that you mean So then I ask how could you be With such a boastful ass as me With delusions of grandeur Under glamorous sheen Could warrant anyone to pack their bags and leave Too busy digging my own grave to bail you out Too caught in my own wave I'm lounging while you drown But if I lose you And if you loosen up a grip On a heart that you stole How can it beat? Lover, I've failed you And I have been failing in every way That I could have let you know Just how much that you mean But if I lose you And if you loosen up a grip On a heart that you stole How can it beat? Lover, I've failed you And I have been failing in every way That I could have let you know Just how much that you mean
