| In a Mississippi hotel room
|
| I was wounded and confused as I watched the 10 o’clock news
|
| I was waiting on a late night call
|
| That I knew would never come and though I doubt it’s what you want
|
| I call you from the steps outside
|
| you say you were fast asleep and every lie it tortures me
|
| I can’t kill what does not bleed so please explain
|
| Can you tell me what it is you need
|
| Coz I’ve been trying still I cannot see
|
| These wasted moments brought me to my knees
|
| I just want to give you everything.
|
| If morning is my darkest time
|
| In the night I sometimes follow you, there is comfort without light
|
| And I’ve been living with no hope
|
| It was a shame to let it go, It was drowning me so slow
|
| I’ve never felt so far away
|
| From the boy I used to be and I wonder what he’d see
|
| From the corner of some street, he met me today
|
| Can you tell me what it is you need
|
| Coz I’ve been trying still i cannot see
|
| these wasted moments brought me to my knees
|
| I just want to give you everything
|
| In the letter that you wrote me last
|
| There were words that burned to here and red lipstick on the mirror
|
| You said loving me’s a great mistake
|
| Coz I have never loved myself and I am sorry if you felt
|
| That maybe you could offer help, to someone like me.
|
| Can you tell me what it is you need,
|
| Coz I’ve been trying still I cannot see.
|
| These wasted moments brought me to my knees,
|
| I just want to give you everything. |
