I comb my hair and I'm thinking of you
Not in the way that you'd want me to
My mind wanders past
Forbidden paths, indeed

You gave me the script
I played the best role
Hook line and sinker
Yeah babe I was sold
The light dissipates
And I am erased from me

I am erased from me

Baby I'm trying, trying real hard
To love you, love you, love you
But I can't
Baby I'm trying, trying real hard
To keep you, keep you
But I lose me instead
I lose me instead

Shared custody of the blame and the guilt
Over this sparkly facade that we've built
Yeah I bent the truth
But so did you, indeed

I am erased from me

Baby I'm trying, trying real hard
To love you, love you, love you
But I can't
Baby I'm trying, trying real hard
To keep you, keep you
But I lose me instead
I lose me

Everyday and every night
I write out the reasons
I count them all twice
But try as I may and try as I might
Something tells me it's time
Baby I'm trying, trying real hard
To love you, love you, love you
But I can't
Baby I'm trying, trying real hard
To keep you, keep you
But I lose me instead
I lose me instead"
