The Tower Lyrics

I forgot the sound of your voice in the days since I've gone deaf

And I told you that I'd respect your choice so I'll let you save your breath

And every day that I needed you, since you've been set free

Are the very same days that you outgrew ever needing me

So by now I think it's too late to tell you what you really mean

Every promise that we break became a desperate plea

Would you be there to keep me safe?

Would you hold the ground with me?

Or did you only keep me at arms length so you could watch me bleed?

Tell me, what does it feel like to rule?

Are you comfortable on your throne?

Was I really ever your crown jewel or just a stepping stone?

How did your castle walls grow so tall?

What do you see from up there?

Well I bet from where you are I look so fucking small

Do you hear my screams? Do you care?

So by now I think it's too late to believe that you want me around

And every promise that we break is every single one we said aloud

Would you be there to keep me safe?

Would you ask the same of me?

Or did you only keep me at arms length so it was something that I could believe?

I forgot the shape of your face and the glimmer in your eye

And everything else I thought I couldn't erase since I made myself go blind

Because I don't need these clouded eyes

If they can't look upon you

And left here with only a mouthful of lies

I'll cut out my tongue too

Because by now I think it's too late to even think about trying again

And every promise that we break assured that this was the end

Would you be there to keep me safe?

Did you know that's what I still need?

Or did you only keep me at arms length so I could watch you abandon me?
