Up the Wall Lyrics

Feels like I'm fighting

To reach out to you

'Cause each time I do

All the things I've been hiding

Come right into view

And you see the truth

How I know what's right, but do what's wrong

And act like I can't stay strong

We both know that's just a lie

That I tell myself

So I can sleep at night

But I'm driving myself up the wall

I stay 'til three just to wait for your call

But I probably missed it

'Cause I couldn't hear past the sound of my voice

Saying the same thing that I've said for years

About how much I miss you and I wish you were here

But each time you have been

I run away when you give me the choice

And I take you for granted

'Cause I know you won't leave

So that move falls to me

I come back empty-handed

And I beg and I plead

Fall down to my knees

And I'm driving myself up the wall

I stay 'til three just to wait for your call

But I probably missed it

'Cause I couldn't hear past the sound of my voice

Saying the same thing that I've said for years

About how much I miss you and I wish you were here

But each time you have been

I run away when you give me the choice

I could apologize a thousand times

Every day and every night

That wouldn't make it okay

So when you look at me in the eyes

And tell me that it's all alright

I don't get why you don't say

That you're driving yourself up the wall

You stay up all night, you keep trying to call

But you don't get an answer

'Cause I don't want to hear what you're going to say

You tell me that I've said the same thing for years

And you don't know how you can make it more clear

You tried to stick with me

But you can't stop me from running away

And you're driving yourself up the wall

You stay up all night, you keep trying to call

But you don't get an answer

'Cause I don't want to hear what you're going to say

You tell me that I've said the same thing for years

And you don't know how you can make it more clear

You tried to stick with me

Yeah, but you can't stop me from running away

I'm done running away

Lord, help me stay
