I can't hear, but I can listen to your lies
Show me beauty now, make believe you look like you
I can't see, but I can read between the lines
Oh, wishing I was there
Wishing I could bite the hand that feeds me the shiver and the stare
Oh, wishing I was there
Wishing I could hold the ground that spins around and leaves me unaware
Just say you love me now, I cannot afford to wait...
I cannot afford to wither
Hit me harder now, make believe my face is numb
I can't feel, but I can sense you in the air
Now lean in farther now, make believe you're not afraid
I can't speak, but I can whisper in your ear
Oh, wishing I was there
Wishing I could bite the hand that feeds me the shiver and the stare
Oh, wishing I was there
Wishing I could hold the ground that spins around and leaves me unaware
Just say you love me now, I cannot afford to wait...
I cannot afford to wither
To deny your home is to deny me, too
And I could start a religion with the things I don't do
To deny that faith is to deny the truth
It's not like you're scared anyhow...
Oh, wishing I was there
Wishing I could bite the hand that feeds me the shiver and the stare
Oh, wishing I was there
Wishing I could hold the ground that spins around and leaves me unaware
Just say you love me now, I cannot afford to wait...
I cannot afford to wither
