I Built You a Tower (a) 歌詞

I built you a tower A tower in my mind A place that no one else No one else would ever find 'Cause I needed you I needed you contained You'd run circles 'round Circles 'round my brain Until I couldn't think Until I couldn't think of anyone else At first the silence felt Felt like an old friend From whom I was estranged But finally made amends But into this void Into this empty space All my sleeping fears They began to race Until I couldn't think Until I couldn't think of anything else Until I couldn't think of anything else I thought that I could keep Could keep you locked away That in this soundless spire Was where you'd always stay But there was no shape That you could not escape What a fool I was To think that I was safe And now I cannot think And now I cannot think of anyone else Oh how this penchant is a curse All the way from the cradle to the hearse And there are days when I wish you'd just become An acquaintance or a time-to-time someone I built you a tower A tower in my mind A place that no one else No one else would ever find 'Cause I needed you I needed you contained You'd run circles 'round Circles 'round my brain And now I cannot think And now I cannot think of anything else And now I cannot think And now I cannot think of anyone else
