lyrics

I’m trying to get to sleep, but I just can’t quit thinking.
And I’m so scared of my bed because I cannot block her out
when I’m in it.

Well, I’m worried all about where exactly I do stand.
And I had to talk to someone. You’re my sister and you had to ask,
“Am I okay?”

I wanted you to need me, but you just needed yourself.
And you didn’t have to tell me. I could see I had no chance
of changing your mind.

I said I’m sorry that I could not be your closest friend.
But, I told you that you were mine, and you tried to tell me this:
“It’s all the same.”

You can’t always be selfish, but I’ll try and help you out.
Other people make it. You’ve just got to lose the doubt
for me because this is the best I can do.

I’d give you this whole city if you’d give me anything.
“I’m not going to change.”

The notes that I was playing, I can’t remember them.
I heard them in the background of something bigger than
both of us.

The clock is ticking faster than it did before you left.
And now I’m resting in the daylight cause the night is too quiet.
Is this all it takes?

Is time all it takes?
Is time all it takes?
