When I tried with you, I know I didn't fail
you just didn't let me succeed
I wasn't blind, just closed my eyes
you were under the table so you didn't realize
just because I didn't look doesn't mean I didn't see
I know that it is hard for you, never take but you never give
but it seems that when I'm with you, it gets hard to live
but I'm not going backwards to go forward with you
for every step I take, taken back another two
but I'm not going backwards to go forward with you
for every step I take, taken back another two
Don't blame yourself,
I can't blame anybody else
the blame is all mine,
'cause when I fell for you, I fell behind
I know that it is hard for you, never take but you never give
but it seems that when I'm with you, it gets hard to live
but I'm not going backwards to go forward with you
for every step I take, taken back another two
but I'm not going backwards to go forward with you
for every step I take, taken back another two

Narrow Ways

The hardest part of leaving you, was leaving you so cold
It's not a fault of mine to infer you have it made
What's the point of salvation in love, if there is nothing to sustain
aside from what is in my mind?
It is bittersweet that I got out
My grief goes out to those who can't figure you out
I cannot complain, for it is I who broke away
Still I sigh for those; suckers who don't know your narrow ways
The hardest part of grieving you, is the doubt in not just you;
but any virtue in this inauspicious world
and rarely do I see this place through eyes that haven't strayed from gray
Will I get this thorn from out of my side?
It is bittersweet that I got out
My grief goes out to those who can't figure you out
I cannot complain, for it is I who broke away
Still I sigh for those; suckers who don't know your narrow ways

Telephone

Lately, it seems the more I try to hold on
Trickles through my fingers like grains of sand then it's gone
It used to come so easy, held loosely
Few and far between is as good as gone
The pain of sacrifice, the pain of regret
Is nothing compared to ripping my own heart out of my chest
It rained, it poured, washed away the foundation of what I thought was home
The pain of being alone; paradise is when you don't own a telephone
No, paradise is when you don't own a telephone
No, cut off from everyone you know
You say you're an extroversion, I say that you discourage me
No, paradise is when you don't own a telephone
Paradise is when you don't own a telephone
The pain of sacrifice, the pain of regret
Is nothing compared to ripping my own heart out of my chest
It rained, it poured, washed away the foundation of what I thought was home
The pain of being alone; paradise is when you don't own a telephone
No, paradise is when you don't own a telephone
No, cut off from everyone you know
You say you're an extroversion, I say that you discourage me
No, paradise is when you don't own a telephone

The Sleight of Hand

Take it from me, it is not easy
to try and forget everything that once pleased me
It's not that it teased me; it gave me the creeps
I don't need to see to believe a damn thing
Take it from me
It's not what it seems
I was born, and the game of life seems unfair enough to me
I will see the face again
but I will be your only friend
and its sad that my entire world
was secure it the shadow of a girl
I will see the face again, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The slander suffocated me
Constricted by the slight of hand and I need room to breathe
and I'm overwhelmed by fools
its a trick on travelers and the chaste will always lose
Take it from me, it is not easy
to try and forget everything that once pleased me
It's not that it teased me; it gave me the creeps
I don't need to see to believe a damn thing
The slander suffocated me
Constricted by the slight of hand and I need room to breathe
and I'm overwhelmed by fools
its a trick on travelers and the chaste will always lose
Why play with me?
In a game in which you cheat?
I was born, and the game of life seems unfair enough to me
I will see the face again
and I will be your only friend
and its sad that my entire world
was secure it the shadow of a girl
I will see the face again, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
