It's crazy to see but I have tried?

It's crazy to see, just how simple thing's have become
Day by day, your reasoning ends promises
Before they've begun

Another cold shoulder thrown my way. Thrown my way
I learned could never go by what you say. What you say
Those nights I felt alone gave me strength, I'll be okay
To do this on my own

Over time, you knew how this would end
Pacing the halls of a home that you're brought down, with your own hands
And in my mind, you knew how this would end
In an hour glass, you better think fast, don't get lost in the sands

Simplify, things not in my control
Directions change, rebuild your empire alone
The colors will fade, but remain intact, you'll see
Just a drifting reminder, it means the world to me

It means the world to me

Give me a reason why I should stay?
Wasted years never had the time of day
I brace myself, held it far too long
This time I know I'm not the one who's wrong!
And if we slow this down and take things slower this time, maybe find the time between the lines, between the lines
If you make me a part of your plan?
Pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall out of your hands

This dug out trench, it runs through my mind
Blurry vision, thoughts unwind
Torn from the places I've been

I meant every single word
And every poorly written letter
But my words they are my word
And I can't put them any better

If you make me a part of your plan
Pick me up, don't watch me fall, back to the ground again
I will bring you in close
Back in my arms again!

So fire your guns, I'm standing alone here
Wasting away at the threat of you taking
No you'll never take what's mine

Every time, no
I won't let this take the best of who I am
The eyes can conceive the best of them
X2
Over time, your knew how this would end
Pacing the halls of a home that you're brought down, with your own hands
And in my mind, you knew how this would end
In an hour glass, you better think fast, don't get lost in the sands
