Completely Present - Shut Me Off

Pathetic, my attempt
As I build you up
I’m timeless, like the dead
As I know I’m stuck
That’s just who I am
And that’s just what I do
Conjure up these plans
And fail to follow through
Oh yeah you’re an odd one
Yeah, If I was there
Would things be different?
You got Stockholm syndrome
You said, “you make me nervous”
Now you can’t leave
Leave your man
You’re scared there’s no future
Cause your past with him
We spoke for days on end
I made you think
Glass always bends
Before shattering
This is where I stand
Two thousand miles away
A foolish, desperate man
Thinking I could make you change
Oh yeah you’re an odd one
Yeah, If I was there
Would things be different?
You got Stockholm syndrome
You said, ”you maybe perfect”
You can’t leave
Leave your man
Scared there’s no future
Cause your past with him
He isn’t right for you
And you know it’s true
You’re too afraid to fall
All I wanted was to talk
All I wanted was a shot
But you shut me off
We spoke for days on end
I made you think
Glass always bends
Before shattering
He isn’t right for you
And you know it’s true
You’re too afraid to fall
All I wanted was to talk
All I wanted was a shot
But you shut me off
