Verse:
I believe in everything I see
You believe in everything but me
What a perfect pair we make;
You make me smile and I just make mistakes
And I’d love to take the blame
And I’d love to say I’m sorry but I ain’t
Pre-Chorus:
‘Cause I’ve been doing everything for you
And you only think about me when you want to
But do you ever want to?
Chorus:
Every time I tell you that I love you
All I’m hearing is an echo, an echo, an echo
All your words are empty and
I might as well be talking to myself, no
But I can’t let you go
‘Cause I need your (echo)
Verse:
I should leave and you should tell the truth
But you can’t stop misleading me
And I can’t stop believing you
Pre-Chorus:
I’m wrapped around your finger oh so carefully
Knotted up from all the times you said you cared for me
But did you ever care for me?
(CHORUS)
Bridge:
Why am I holding on?
Trying to stay the same?
Why don’t I just get gone?
I’m going insane
Is it mad to think that things could ever change?
(CHORUS)
