In a Mississippi hotel room I was wounded and confused As I watched the 10 o’clock news I was waiting on a late night call That I knew would never come And though I doubt it’s what you’d want I call you from the steps outside You say you were fast asleep And every lies, it tortures me I can’t kill what does not bleed So please explain
Can you tell me what it is you need? ‘Cause I’ve been trying, still I cannot see These wasted moments brought me to my knees I just wanna give you everything
If morning is my darkest time In the night I sometimes find There is comfort without lie I’ve been living with no hope It was a shame to let it go But it was drowning me so slow I’ve never felt so far away From the boy I used to be And I wonder what he’d see From the corner of some ship He met me today
Can you tell me what it is you need? ‘Cause I’ve been trying, still I cannot see These wasted moments brought me to my knees I just wanna give you everything
In the letter that you wrote me last There were words that burned to hear And red lipstick on the mirror You said loving me’s a great mistake ‘Cause I have never loved myself And I am sorry if you found But maybe you could offer help To someone like me
Can you tell me what it is you need? ‘Cause I’ve been trying, still I cannot see These wasted moments brought me to my knees I just wanna give you everything
