The Downtown Fiction - Living Proof lyrics

rate me

One more chance, it's all I'd ever ask for<br />

I've been standing, waiting at your front door<br />

I won't go, been waiting for hours (wait up)<br />

<br />

Out of bed and looking in the mirror<br />

Every day it gets a little clearer<br />

If you go, I'm patiently waiting (wait up)<br />

<br />

I'm climbing the walls, I'm searching for answers<br />

The gears in my mind, are turning like dancers<br />

I'm trying to find, the words but I just can't speak<br />

<br />

I'm living proof, broken and defeated<br />

I'm the shattered youth and no one could believe it<br />

If I can't have you, well darlin' I just can't go on<br />

<br />

And if I swear, swear to make it better<br />

Would you stick you around, I know that it will never<br />

Be the way it was, but maybe we can make this right<br />

Show me where the light is leading<br />

<br />

Sit and stare, I wonder what you're thinking<br />

Sweat falls down, my stomach starts the sinking<br />

Where are you? I'm patiently waiting (wait up)<br />

Just last night you said you didn't love me<br />

Well that's alright, I know that you're above me<br />

Memories past, they're flooding around me (wait up)<br />

<br />

I'm wondering why, why did I do it?<br />

And watching you cry, can barely get through it<br />

I'm sorry I swear, I'm sorry for what I did<br />

<br />

I'm living proof, broken and defeated<br />

I'm the shattered youth and no one could believe it<br />

If I can't have you, well darlin' I just can't go on<br />

And if I swear, swear to make it better<br />

Would you stick you around, I know that it will never<br />

Be the way it was, but maybe we can make this right<br />

Time stands still, if you stay, I will<br />

<br />

I wanted to tell, tell you my secrets<br />

I want you to know, know I believe this<br />

I wanted to tell, tell you everything<br />

<br />

I wanted to tell, tell you my secrets,<br />

I want you to know, know I believe this<br />

I wanted to tell, tell you everything<br />

<br />

I'm living proof, broken and defeated<br />

I'm the shattered youth and no one could believe it<br />

If I can't have you, well darlin' I just can't go on<br />

And if I swear, swear to make it better<br />

Would you stick you around, I know that it will never<br />

Be the way it was, but maybe we can make this right<br />

So let it go<br />

<br />

So get up, get up, get up, it's deep inside of you<br />

Now wake up, wake up, wake up, it's deep inside of you<br />

So get up, get up, get up, it's deep inside of...<br />

<br />
