[Verse 1]
Two years too late
Let you down, call it fate
I'm a child learning how to walk again
How could you know?
Call your bluff, let it go
I was playing charades while the house was on fire

[Chorus]
Tenderness and patience
My spirit wanes from your off-guard distractions
It's a quiet oblivion
Crushing into violence
I'Il play hide and seek on your terms, despite my condition
I can't think straight
Yet I have 20/20 vision

[Verse 2]
Split down the middle
You're a stranger crashing into my life
If we spent the time, could we make it right?
I can't win, but I can lose
Or learn how to live with you
No time to pretend, you know what's true

[Chorus]
Tenderness and patience
My spirit wanes from your off-guard distractions
It's a quiet oblivion
Crushing into violence
I'Il play hide and seek on your terms, despite my condition
I can't think straight
Yet I have 20/20 vision
