about
Still one of my all-time favorites.
lyrics
I tried to bind my heart to nothing but the seamless dark
The ropes weren't on my side
I tried to justify the beating, endless over time
The chains I had were twine
If I could only change her mind
I can't stop myself from feeling left behind
Don't surrender, if you forget to stay out of line
Don't forget her, if you ever feel vacant in this life
I tried to make-believe the death of insecurity
But I'm lying to myself
I tried to wish away confusion and the pouring rain
But I can't even find my feet
I stole all the feeling in her eyes
I shifted, the love became all lies
In the make-believe, even I still need
And this time, I believe
That this time, all I need's
What I want, when I won't
Why say can't, when I don't
And I'll live in my place
There's no room for her face
So I'll starve to make room
I'll surrender my own life
Don't surrender
In the make-believe, even I still need
