Desperately

run inside and lock the door
but still she follows me
knocking through the glee
please bother me no more

seeping past my skin i sit
and watch the silence fall
but still it's ever there
those memories to recall

and worst of all i know ive dropped the ball
i suddenly got lost inside the wall
i'm running from me
the little girl that i see
reflections of the dreams i'll never be

Desperately
she calls me through the glass
past fears i cant surpass
why cant she just go away?

Desperately
though each day is less perfect than last
with glimmers of broken dreams cast
she grabs for me desperately

lean against the wall
i feel the cold against my skin
i hear her crying call
shes trying to get in

cant she see that i will never
be a different way
expect a better me
she's reaching for yesterday

and worst of all it's me who has to pay
this pain i feel will never go away
all i can be
isnt coming from me
failure is all that's left for her to see

Desperately
she calls me through the glass
past fears i cant surpass
why cant she just go away?

Desperately
though each day is less perfect than last
with glimmers of broken dreams cast
she grabs for me desperately
