"Failure By Design" lyrics

Yeah. I was all alone
Walking in the streetlight through the rain
Yeah. I'll be sleeping on my own

You had a certain tone
A cease and desist
Yeah. I remember I missed
To be living on my own

Now tell me what to do
Tell me how to help
How easy is it ever to open up to you?

I was never there
I was never more
I was never more than a victim of collateral consequence to you

Tell me you want me, I want you too
I tell you I want you, I tell you I need you
But I have to

I have to draw the line
I'm all the way down over here
Just got to hold on
A failure by design
I wanted a way out out of here

Screaming on the phone
I got to admit that I was longing to live
I might be better off alone
But I don't know for sure

You were never there
You were never more
You were never more than a gifted deliberate consequence you lose

I can't deal with this proximity

I have to draw the line
I'm all the way down over here
Just got to hold on
A failure by design
I wanted a way out out of here

Tell me you want me, tell me you need me
I want you too
I tell you I want you, I tell you I need you
But I have to
Tell me you want me, tell me you need me
I want you too
I'll tell you I want you, I'll tell you I need you but I have to

I have to draw the line
I'm all the way down over here
Just got to hold on
A failure by design
I wanted a way out out of here
