Solace

I don't mind, I can play the role
But oh, sometimes, it starts to take its toll I'm afraid
Yeah, you can touch me but I'm out of reach
I make it look so easy. No, you would never believe
One night you caught me, scared me half to death
In a crowded room you leaned in close to me and said
Hey, are you there
Can you tell me where you are
Hey, are you there
As time went by, you learned to lie
Some could give me more
But you gave me all you had
I made for the door but you held tight to my hand
And I think about it sometimes
It's like a dream where you're stuck to the ground
I'm up in the clouds and I don't think I'm coming down
You look confused as if we've never met
I'm screaming in my sleep I'm just so inarticulate
Hey, are you there
Can you tell me where you are
Hey, are you there
As time went by, you learned to lie
Some could give me more
But you gave me all you had
I made for the door but you held tight to my hand
I know I left you on the shelf.
They say that isolation is so bad for your health
Like loving someone who cannot love themself
Like loving someone who cannot love themself
Someone who cannot love themself
Someone who cannot love themself
Someone who cannot love themself
Someone who cannot love themself
