lyrics

I've been dreaming bout' the way those colors fade into your face
All but gold is there to say, dear your heart is a disgrace
Im not talking bout yours, no I'm talking bout mine
Im sitting up straight but your words, creepin' up my spine

Everyday you've got something new to teach me bout myself
but here I am waiting, wanting putting books upon the shelf
hoping that you might realize I was once somebody else
since the day I first started to deconstruct myself.

I wanna tell you things are fine, wanna tell you that you're wrong
but I cant find the words to lie, I try to write it in a song
you've had my heart for so long, you know my whole life
what makes me sick what makes me strong, loyal companion by my side

and everyday you've got something new to teach me bout' myself
but here I am waiting, wanting putting books upon the shelf
hoping that you might forget I was once somebody else
since the day I first started to deconstruct myself.

oh you waited on me, waited on me
oh you're waiting on me, waiting on me
now
now

and everyday you've got something new to teach me bout myself
here I am waiting, wanting putting books upon the shelf
hoping that you could love me for who I am if I'm someone else
since the day I first started, started
and everyday you've got something new to teach me bout myself
here I am waiting, wanting putting books upon the shelf
hoping that you could love me for who I am, somebody else.
since the day I first started to deconstruct myself

I dont know when, dont know why, dont know how I got here
It'd be a lie if I didnt mention I'd been feeling these fears..
I just dont know if this is the best situation for us now
I cant give 100% until I figure my shit out.

everyday you've got something new to teach me bout myself
here I am waiting, wanting putting books upon the shelf
hoping that you could love me for who I am, somebody else.
since the day I first started to deconstruct myself.
