Here I sit across from you. Where to begin
Right now I can feel the silence crawl on my skin.
There's something about this that I can not shake.
And only so much more that I can take.
I just can't win.
You promised that you'd always tell me the truth.
As I lie here listening to your words, I can't move.
There's so much that I want to say.
But all these thoughts are getting in the way
I'm losing you
'Cause you never really know
what you've got until it all unfolds
I'm all in knots. Unravel me, expose
my mind is running 'round in circles
'Cause I'm caught up in whirl,
in rising tides. You're storming through my world
And took me by surprise
I'm lost for words deep inside
You're just trying to make it right and make it fair
I'm still trying to grasp your words that hang in the air
I stare out the window while you pace the room
Waiting for me to speak. But i'm consumed
in losing you
'Cause you never really know
what you've got until it all unfolds
I'm all in knots. Unravel me, expose
my mind is running 'round in circles
'Cause I'm caught up in whirl,
in rising tides, You're storming through my world
And took me by surprise
I'm lost for words deep inside
Here inside...
What I need
Is just to breathe.
As I'm trying to comprehend
Work it out until it all makes sense
If only I can find the words lost inside
Here I sit across from you. Where to begin
