if I opened up my mouth to feed
do you think you'd give me what I need?
sitting in the place you used to stand
waiting for the day you'll take my hand

and once again I'm
turning down a one-way street
look away so I can see
everything crashing around
lock me in don't pray so loud
never seem to hear me shout
that I need you

still you never look me in the face
I think I'm melting here
do you understand all my disgrace?
I'm burning up you'll be so glad
don't think I've ever felt so bad
don't think I've ever felt so
think I've lost the best I ever had
I lost the best I ever
what I say is not what I mean
all this noise keeps on filling up my dreams

still I'm turning down a one-way street
look away so I can see
everything crashing around
lock me in don't pray so loud
never see me hear me shout
that I need you

sitting here endlessly
never mind you never see
never hear just to be proud
lock me in don't pray so loud
never seem to hear me shout
that I need you

don't ever look me in the face
