i bleed ink for you

...words don't fail me now

you're all i've got

                   tonight

i'd bleed ink if it had direction

because i can't bleed real

                         for you



i was hopeful

the day you

        broke ties

with my answering maching

hopeful

took my straight to the end

                 this is the end of you

breaking my heart

just to see if you can

put

it

back

together



you used to hold me

tight

i thought i was safe when you said

                           "i'll never lose you"

nobody ever held me tighter

the way you did when you...

                     ...let me go



i was never able to hold you

                         you always had me first

                         you said i'd never lose you

you were right

                         you can't lose what you don't have



there's pressure in my head tonight

like my brain is pushing

                 against my skull

if i explode with pain tonight

                                 i changed my password

                                  from lonely

                                       to hopeful



...words don't fail me now

you're all i ever had
