lyrics

It’s A Damn Shame It Had To End Up Like This
I Never Ever Even Heard A Word That I Could Have Dismissed
I Was Paralyzed, Then Demobilized, But I Could Still Walk
I Mesmerized, Then Was Criticized For The Way I Talk
It’s A Long Way Down, Even Though I Haven’t Reached The Top

In These Lonely Nights
The Desperation Pours Out Of You
In These Lonely Nights
Couldn't Even Love You If I Wanted To

Could You Make Me Whole?
Could You Make The Sun Rise Or Fall Apart?
And When The Cold Wind Blows
Could You Stop The Rain From Pelting Us To Death?
Could You Make Me Whole?

I Bit My Nails Down So Low I Couldn't Feel My Hand
I Took The Very Same Subway Train That I Was Born In
I Was On The Stand, I Raised My Hand, And I Swore I’d Tell The Truth
But Every Word That I Said Contradicted The Proof
It’s A Long Way Down, Even Though I Haven’t Reached The Top

In These Lonely Nights
Sometimes The Answers Are Right In Front Of You
In These Lonely Nights
Couldn't Be The One If We Were The Only Two

Could You Make Me Whole?
Could You Make The Sun Rise Or Fall Apart?
And When The Cold Wind Blows
Could You Stop The Rain From Pelting Us To Death?
Could You Make Me Whole?
