Called you up last night
Told you I needed time
You weren't too concerned
You said you were mine
Told you I needed time
Where's the truth in that
You can sense I'm lying
Oh what's the truth in that
Time a cruel game that we play
Promises swept away
I need you to hold me
Even if I pull away
You're a lifeline
I cling to in vain
Need you to anchor me
Before I drift away
Baby I built this house
Brick by fragile brick
Maybe every stone
I laid just pushed you further
It makes me sick
New traces of you
Where you sickly bloomed
Now I just scream and cry
I'm drowning out the room
So hold me close
Even if I fight or break
Let you be my shelter for my own sake
Time may heal our yesterdays
But tomorrow's in my hand
You can finally be my man
