I've been holding on to a memory
So close, but yet so far
I've been blinded by the heat
Through these sleepless nights
I hold myself down
Reappear to stoke the flame
When I don't want you around
Can't seem to appreciate what I have within my reach
Try to fortify the walls, but your pretty face still seems to breach
Don't ask me how I've been
I won't repeat myself no more
I guess nobody wins
Ain't a beam of light in a darkened place
I can see it in your eyes when you're lying to my face
Is it any wonder?
It should come as no surprise
Go through that revolving door and come out encased in ice
Can't seem to kick you out; stuck on me like a leech
Try to fortify the walls, but your pretty face still seems to breach
Don't ask me how I've been
I won't repeat myself no more
I guess nobody wins
