Bricks

You won't just fade away, and it feels like forever
Since I heard you say that we're coming untethered
The echo of your voice fills that space inside my head
And I lie awake and imagine it never
Ended up this way wondering if you ever
Wake up wishing all your words were things you never said

And I shouldn't bang my head against this wall
Hoping that the bricks will fall, praying that I might break through
I shouldn't cling here on this fraying line
Hoping it will mend with time
Knowing that there's nothing I can do to get back to you

And October fades into hazy November
Endless days of grey pull me into December
In January's emptiness I find myself remembering
And there we are on a bench by the river
Surrounded by stars and the hope they deliver
And I keep whispering I love you, but you're not listening

And I shouldn't bang my head against this wall
Hoping that the bricks will fall, praying that I might break through
I shouldn't cling here on this fraying line
Hoping it will mend with time
Knowing that there's nothing I can do to get back to you
To get back to you

But maybe I could be the me that you wanted me to be
I might not still be me, but I'd have you
And I don't need to be myself, just leave me on some dusty shelf
I might be somebody else, but I'd have you

And I lie awake and imagine it never
Ended up this way wondering if you ever
Wake up wishing all your words were things you never said

And I shouldn't bang my head against this wall
Hoping that the bricks will fall, praying that I might break through
I shouldn't cling here on this fraying line
Hoping it will mend with time
Knowing that there's nothing I can do to get back to you
To get back to you
To get back to you
To get back to you
