When I saw your smile
It takes me for a ride
I guess I want big love to haunt
My mind’s bad thoughts, I’m bleeding repeating
A world so cruel tonight
I dreamt a thousand times
I guess I want big love to haunt
My mind’s bad thoughts, I’m bleeding repeating
And it breaks me to say
I’m not my best when you’re away
I’m not my best
When you’re away
Conversations have gone dry
No attachment signs of life
Conversations have gone dry (Are you with me? Are you listening?)
No attachment signs of life (Are you with me? Are you listening?)
Conversations have gone dry (Are you with me? Are you listening?)
No attachment (Are you with me? Are you listening?)
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you listening?
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you listening?
