0:00I built you a tower in my mind
0:08A place that no one else could ever find
0:16'Cause I needed you contained
0:19You'd run circles 'round my brain
0:23Until I could not think of anything else
0:31At first the silence felt like an old friend
0:39We were estranged for many years but made amends
0:47But into that empty space
0:51My fears began to race
0:54Until I could not think of anything else
1:03I'm learning how to
1:08Live without you
1:11But these ruminations
1:15Are all about you
1:22I thought that I could keep you locked away
1:30That in this soundless spire was where you'd stay
1:38But there was no cage or shape
1:42That you could not escape
1:45What a fool I was to think I was safe
1:54I'm learning how to
1:58Live without you
2:02But these ruminations
2:06Are all about you
2:10And it makes me tired
2:14So tired
2:18I'm learning how to
2:22Live without you
2:25But these ruminations
2:29Are all about you
2:45And it makes me tired
2:49So tired
2:57And it makes me tired
3:01So tired
3:09And it makes me tired
3:12So tired
3:16And it makes me tired
3:20So tired
I built you a tower in my mind A place that no one else could ever find 'Cause I needed you contained You'd run circles 'round my brain Until I could not think of anything else At first the silence felt like an old friend We were estranged for many years but made amends But into that empty space My fears began to race Until I could not think of anything else I'm learning how to Live without you But these ruminations Are all about you I thought that I could keep you locked away That in this soundless spire was where you'd stay But there was no cage or shape That you could not escape What a fool I was to think I was safe I'm learning how to Live without you But these ruminations Are all about you And it makes me tired So tired I'm learning how to Live without you But these ruminations Are all about you And it makes me tired So tired And it makes me tired So tired And it makes me tired So tired And it makes me tired So tired
