lyrics
For every step I take forward
You take two steps back
For every bit more I give of myself
The more you hold back
I'd heard of your kind but never met you before
The kind that's here in the room with me but with one foot out the door
So why did I fall?
What did you do?
To make me wanna stay
And break through to you
Did I blaspheme the heavens
Or offend Mother Earth
Oh there must be some explanation
For how I've obtained this curse
Nothing is up to your standards
Nothing can make your bell ring
And while you search for perfection
I guess you forgot about me
Yeah I'd sit for hours waiting for you to notice me there
But unless I was naked you had nothing special to share
So why did I fall?
What did you do?
To make me wanna stay
And break through to you
Did I blaspheme the heavens
Or offend Mother Earth
Oh there must be some explanation
For why I think I can save you
Do I think that I'll win?
And what good would it do
If I made you give in
You'd just drag me through darkness
'Til I can't see and end
And I know you're a liar
An emotional thief
'Cause oh yeah you miss me
Then vanish mysteriously
And I disobey my nature to punish and rage and scream
Thinking calm words will tempt you but you're far to deep out of reach
So why did I fall?
What did you do?
To make me wanna stay
And break through to you
Did I blaspheme the heavens
Or offend Mother Earth
Oh there must be some explanation
For how I've obtained this curse
You take two steps back
For every bit more I give of myself
The more you hold back
I'd heard of your kind but never met you before
The kind that's here in the room with me but with one foot out the door
So why did I fall?
What did you do?
To make me wanna stay
And break through to you
Did I blaspheme the heavens
Or offend Mother Earth
Oh there must be some explanation
For how I've obtained this curse
Nothing is up to your standards
Nothing can make your bell ring
And while you search for perfection
I guess you forgot about me
Yeah I'd sit for hours waiting for you to notice me there
But unless I was naked you had nothing special to share
So why did I fall?
What did you do?
To make me wanna stay
And break through to you
Did I blaspheme the heavens
Or offend Mother Earth
Oh there must be some explanation
For why I think I can save you
Do I think that I'll win?
And what good would it do
If I made you give in
You'd just drag me through darkness
'Til I can't see and end
And I know you're a liar
An emotional thief
'Cause oh yeah you miss me
Then vanish mysteriously
And I disobey my nature to punish and rage and scream
Thinking calm words will tempt you but you're far to deep out of reach
So why did I fall?
What did you do?
To make me wanna stay
And break through to you
Did I blaspheme the heavens
Or offend Mother Earth
Oh there must be some explanation
For how I've obtained this curse
