lyrics

Lyrics:

Closed off and tongue tied. I never really seem to say what's on my mind. All I can ever manage to put together are lesser words and slurred lines and I can tell you're unimpressed by the look in your eyes.

A whole year spent drowning in our differences
All you longed for was attention but you never could afford it

Closed off and tongue tied. You never really seem to say what's on your mind. All you ever managed to do was take advantage of the way I felt about you. But it's safe to say that I never really cared at all.

There's a light in your eyes
Some kind of gleam
But no amount of your light can make the dark in my heart recede
Another sober-less night
Leads to fights with my conscience
From dim lights to hard wood floors
Ill never refrain from breaking a promise.
