Well this all sen in motion How could you be so cold? Now you want the attention The tables turned, reversed the roles Oh now you can play the victim Say "I'm f**ed in the head" Oh my hearts a disillusion Laid in my melancholy bed, yeah I want to tell you girl that I thought you were the one But, you're like staring down the sun And I'll lose sight before I fade away Fell asleep inside the ocean I awoke in the sand Ought to build you up a castle Proclaimed this is our Promised Land But we ignored the crashing Of the waves against the door 'Cause love, it ain't no treaty No baby, this love is war I want to tell you girl that I thought you were the one But, you're like staring down the sun And I'll lose sight before I fade away I want to tell you now before it's all said and done You think the worst is yet to come Plan your escape and make your get away (fade, fade, fade) Oh you nailed my shadow down On the crooked streets laid in this town We counted brick by brick 'til there was nothing left to count And I wait outside your window Collecting rain into a jar Just let me warn, I've built this storm Knowing well it'd piss you off How could you be so cold? I want to tell you girl that I thought you were the one But, you're like staring down the sun And I'll lose sight before I fade away I want to tell you now before it's all said and done You think the worst is yet to come Plan your escape and make your get away 'Cause I'll lose sight before I fade away Yeah, I'll lose sight before I fade away
