The Proof I Tried Lyrics

Where did those late night drives go wrong?
You say it's different now.
I know that high school is long gone,
but that's no excuse.
Insecurities develop and drive
past all of the places we've known.
Give me a chance to call you later,
and swear that you'll pick up the phone.

Just say anything now.
There's got to be a million ways how
we can fight this and win.
But, I can't do this on my own.
I'm beating down the door, but
you're not home.
Just say the word and I'll be gone.

Or just hold on.
Fight the waves, our endless days,
and sleepkess night.
Tear down the walls as we break and divide.
Exasperations make it tough to be enough,
but I'll hold you...
if you'll hold on.

Broken truths and empty words;
most small, but they pile up.
To leave me wondering exactly what you are thinking.
I can't speak for you,
it's just something I won't do.
I'll leave desicions in your hands,
and pray that you'll come home.

I smoke a cigarrette,
and think about the things you said.
I try to decide why you feel this way.
But these nights sitting by the phone,
won't last much longer, time moves on.
And with some help, so will I.

Or just hold on.
Fight the waves, our endless days,
and sleepkess night.
Tear down the walls as we break and divide.
Exasperations make it tough to be enough,
but I'll hold you...
if you'll hold on.
