If you put your arms around me, could it change the way i feel?
I guess I let myself believe that the outside might just bleed it's way in
Maybe stir the sleeping past lying under glass
Waiting for the kiss that breaks this awful spell
Pull me out of this lonely cell
Close my eyes and hold my heart
Cover me and make me something
Change this something normal into something beautiful
What I get from my reflection isn't what i thought i'd see
Give me reason to believe you'd never keep me incomplete
Will you untie this loss of mine, it easily defines me
Do you see it on my face?
That all i can think about is how long
I've been waiting to feel you move me
Close my eyes and hold my heart
Cover me me and make me something
Change this something normal into something beautiful.
Into something beautiful
Into something beautiful
And i'm still fighting for the word to break these chains
And i still pray when i look in your eyes, you'll stare right back down
Into something beautiful
Close my eyes and hold my heart
Cover me me and make me something
Change this something normal into something beautiful.
Into something beautiful
Into something beautiful
Into something beautiful
Into something beautiful

take, take till there's nothing, nothing to turn to.
nothing when you get through.
won't you break, scatter pieces of all i've been.
bowing to all i've been running to.
i, i got a question, i got a question - where are you?
did you leave me unbreakable?
leave me frozen?
i've never felt so cold.
i thought you were silent.
i thought you left me for the wreckage and the waste.
on an empty beach of faith.
was it true?
scream, deeper i wanna scream.
i want you to hear me, i want you to find me.
i want to believe but all i pray is wrong and all i claim is gone.
i, i got a question, i got a question - where are you?
where are you?
