[Verse]
I gotta start from the bottom make it first to the top
But you still wouldn’t say that I won
And if I ran like a man on a mission to win
You’d shoot me down like a hit-n-run
If I paint you a picture of a love that’s true
You still wouldn’t see what I found
My patience wearing thin ‘cause I’m longing for a change
And to make you turn around
[Pre Chorus]
Every word that I say
Every breath I would take
If I show what is real
You would see what is fake
Even though we succeed
You’d believe we were meant to fail
[Chorus]
I could do it backwards
I could put it straight
You would keep your eyes shut
Telling me to wait
When could I make it across to you?
I could put my words right
I could hold them back
You would keep your heart shut
Either way I act
How could I make it across to you?
Across to you
[Verse]
I say black you say blue
I go under you go through
Not sure what you’re trying to prove
When you walk out the door and I ask you to stay
There’s no way you could make up your mind
You will see what I do if you hear what I feel
But you still won’t experience my pain
My heart is wearing thin ‘cause I’m longing for a change
And to break free from our chains
[Pre Chorus]
Every word that I say
Every breath I would take
If I show what is real
You would see what is fake
Even though we succeed
You’d believe we were meant to fail
[Chorus]
I could do it backwards
I could put it straight
You would keep your eyes shut
Telling me to wait
When could I make it across to you?
I could put my words right
I could hold them back
You would keep your heart shut
Either way I act
How could I make it across to you?
Across to you
[Bridge]
I could do it backwards
I could put it straight
You would keep your eyes shut telling me to wait
Telling me to wait
[Chorus]
I could do it backwards
I could put it straight
You would keep your eyes shut
Telling me to wait
When could I make it across to you?
I could put my words right
I could hold them back
You would keep your heart shut
Either way I act
How could I make it across to you?
Across to you
