I used to pray someone would bring up your name

Any excuse to feel you again

I looked for you in every room I walked in

All of my castles I built on your land

I let you in over and all around

Made you my dream and let you ease my doubts

I let you become someone I couldn’t live without

You only ever let me down

I used to search your words for hidden meaning

Give me your worst lie, I’ll believe it

They say it’s a delusion

Call a spade and dig your way out quick

But they’ll never know you the way I thought I did

I let you in over and all around

Made you my dream and let you ease my doubts

I let you become someone I couldn’t live without

You only ever let me down

I let you hold the pen that makes the meaning

Tear out the pages, write your name on all my endings

I let you become someone I couldn’t live without

And you only ever let me down

You wanted me but not to choose

Wanted games you couldn’t lose

Asked for time, I gave you years

Asked for space while I stay here

You called it peace then waged a war

Left the court but kept the score

Stacked the deck and called my bluff

Made a bet and called it love

But it wasn’t love, no

It wasn’t love

I let you in over and all around

Made you my dream and let you ease my doubts

I let you become someone I couldn’t live without

You only ever let me down

I let you hold the pen that writes the meaning

Tear out the pages, write your name on all my endings

I let you become someone I couldn’t live without

And you only ever let me down

I let you in over and all around

And you only ever let me down
