lyrics

Time and time again
I’ve tried to speak to you
Words left in my throat dry like
The flowers I gave you
In my notebook
Scraps of promises I’ve left
Sticking to your windowsill the weather left them wet

Trying hard to tame the shrew
Trying hard to tame you
But honestly
All I see myself doing
Is hoping praying
That you will forgive
All of my pathetic and feeble attempts

To please you
Sitting here contemplating all of my options
All of this while
I’ve been wild for you
Forgive me
Laying here thinking of you endlessly
All of this while
I’ve been wild for you

Firing line again
I’m stuck behind my shield
Memories and memoirs left
Behind this veil
Lazy as a coward
Too much on my mind
Of a new emotion call it
Loving fear

Trying hard to leave you
Trying hard to escape the shrew
Honestly all I see myself left with
Is shattered bones
And a cluttered mind and
And a word or two to let you know that
All I wanted was

To please you
Sitting here contemplating all of my options
All of this while
I’ve been wild for you
Forgive me
Laying here thinking of you endlessly
All of this while
I’ve been wild for you
