Wither away

What if I told you I could be everything you need
Would this be a lie that you could believe
Or would you get up and leave

What if I told you our love was guaranteed
Would you think I had something up my sleeve
Would you be that naive

I've tried to change for the better
But I lie to you like you've lied to me
I've tried to put the pieces back together
But I hide from you like you hide from me
Are you feeling betrayed
As we wither away
Something needs to change

What if you told me you were so much better than I ever dreamed
Would I buy into your scheme
Or would I get up and leave

What if you told me how badly you miss my scent
We hurt each other but it's never what we meant
Am I that ignorant

You've tried to change for the better
But you lie to me like I've lied to you
You've tried to put the pieces back together
But you hide from me like I hide from you
Am I feeling betrayed
As we wither away
Something needs to change

And all these hours we spent pointing our fingers
Where did that get us
And all these years we tried to put a label on what we were
We're just bones and dust
Misguided trust uncontrolable lust

We've tried to change for the better
But we've always lied to each other
We've tried to put the pieces back together
But we've been hiding away from each other
Now we're feeling betrayed
As we wither away
Nobody can change
