lyrics

tell me why it seems so hard
to get inside your head
layers of you i’ll never unfold
flashbulb moments, pretty words
but somehow, always, i’m
in the same place as i was before

i wanted to talk to you
but you weren’t around
and i tried and i tried and i tried
and i tried to get through
i stand on your doorstep
but nobody’s home
and i’ll try and i’ll try and i’ll try
and i’ll try again

tell me why i’m always there
beside you in the wars
do i see you as a friend or something more
it kills me to see you hurt
but somehow, always, you’re
suffering in silence through the storm

i wanted to talk to you
but you weren’t around
and i tried and i tried and i tried
and i tried to get through
i stand on your doorstep
but nobody’s home
and i’ll try and i’ll try and i’ll try
and i’ll try again

i’m an open book
read my every page
waste away with me
i just want you to stay
and to let me see
what you hold inside so tight

i’m an open book
read my every page
waste away with me
i just want you to stay
won’t you let me see
what you hold inside so tight

i wanted to talk to you
but you weren’t around
and i tried and i tried and i tried
and i tried to get through
i stand on your doorstep
but nobody’s home
and i’ll try and i’ll try and i’ll try
and i’ll try again
