You say I don't understand and I say I know you don't
We've been in a taxi,
drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar
We thought a cure would come through in time,
now I fear it won't
I've been to the place on Cornelia Street,
I sit casually in the bar
Remember looking at this room,
we loved it cause of the lights
A fresh page on the desk,
filling in the blanks as we go
Now I just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time
Streetlights pointed in, arrowhead leading us home
Do I throw out everything we built or keep it?
And hope I never lose it
I'm getting tired even for a phoenix
Always rising from the ashes,
mending all her gashes
You might just have dealt the final blow
And I hope I never lose you,
hope it never ends
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
That's the kind of heartbreak time could never mend
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
Every morning I glare at you with stones in my eyes Frozen
out on air,
jacket by my shoulders is yours
How can you say that you love someone you can't tell it's love?
It's the rain, it's the hunger, feel you see them around the creaking doors
I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the core
We were guard dogs,
playing games, I thought you were leading me on
My face was grey but you wouldn't admit that we were sick
I've had to let go,
you see,
before you even knew I was wrong
The air is thick with loss and indecision
I know my pain is such an imposition
Now you're running down the hallway
And you know what they all say
You don't know what you got until it's gone
Stop
You're losing me
I can't find a pose,
my heart won't stop beating
I can't listen for you,
and this city screams your name
You can be everything
You can be everything
You can be everything
You can be everything
You can be everything
My best piece,
my endless empathy And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier
Fighting in only your army,
front lines don't you ignore me
I'm the best thing at the party,
that one and the kiss
I wouldn't make pretty neither,
the logical people my religion My religion,
did you see her?
And I'm fading thinking,
do something babe, say something And you're gonna lose something babe,
with something
Can't choose something babe, I got nothing
I'll get to the lead,
unless you're choosing me
Oh,
you're losing me Never again
I
can't find a pulse My heart won't start anymore
