lyrics

I wait for you at this piano
With fear and shame fresh painted on my face
You know how when I'm nervous my hands tap uncontrollably
Imagine when my hands are at the keys
They fly from me, they fly from me

Where do I begin?
You knew I was mysterious and guarded from the start
My mental troops perimetered with guns around my heart
Her snipers shot from years ago is finally sinking in
Where you and I begin
And now my heartbeat starts to quicken
As the memories ensure
Of how I turned to silent treatment
A painful quiet summer spend avoiding you
What did I gain now and how can I explain
I was hurt and afraid

Here I wait alone, this piano's strings can speak for me
So many nights I've spent awake and emotionless
Guilty fingers striking the keys
Oh yeah, and every not is painting a portrait
Spelling out your name
Yeah, since you've been away I haven't been the same
No I'm not the same, no not anymore
Inside of me, my conscience starts to scream
You're gonna lose her now, so what the hell you waiting for?

I'm waking up to see the truth
I'm at my best when I'm with you
I'm begging darling won't you stay and see
How desperately I want to show
I'm not the boy you used to know
I'm climbing out this pit for you

I'm waking up to see the truth
I'm at my best when I'm with you
So desperately I want to show
I'm not the boy you used to know


I'm waking up to see the truth
I'm at my best when I'm with you
I'm begging darling won't you stay and see
How desperately I want to show
I'm not the boy you used to know
I'm climbing out this pit for you

How desperately I want to show
I'm not the boy you used to know
I'm climbing out this pit for you
