Building Blocks

Please tell me why you went away
And didn’t think about the song
That I had written all for you
When I was up all night alone
Turning and yearning and
And my heart burning and
And my soul hurting and
Please tell me why…
Why are we playing games
I’m too grown for these things
Watching you building blocks
Meanwhile,
I’m building Goals
Won’t waste my time
Any-more (x2)
Hour, minute, second hands
The Arms of a clock never sleep
Could hardly close my eyes, while it ticked
Wanted you in bed next to me
And there’s this feeling looming
Distance between our hearts
This kingdom has been building
And now it’s being torn apart
Removed my rose-colored glasses
Revealed the woman’s intuition
Brick by brick
Thought we had the same blueprint
But I won’t be Fooled anymore
Now we see
The fruit that we bare
Bittersweet…
In the bite that we share
Why are we playing games
I’m too grown for these things
Watching you building blocks
Meanwhile,
I’m building Goals
Won’t waste my time
Any-more (x2)
Your presence enters my view
You smile and grin like a child
Thinking that all’s as it was…
As if it’s not been a while
That I was hurting so
So sad and lonely for
For you to touch my hand
For you to turn me on
I stand up straight and begin…
To walk away from you now
Why are we playing games
I’m too grown for these things
Watching you building blocks
Meanwhile,
I’m building Goals
Won’t waste my time
Any-more (x2)
