Lyrics
If you could write it out
If you could express it in writing
With all the letters left on the table
All the unspoken words remaining
What would you write about
What would be the subject of your writing
And could you write it if you were able
And would you be capable of writing it
If I could write a song
If I could compose a melody
With all the precious little notes that I left you
Using the cherished notes I left for you
I'd get the lyrics wrong
I might make mistakes in the lyrics
Just like the forwarding address I sent to
Similar to the incorrect forwarding address I provided
Your little secret world
Your private world
That never stamped my passport
That never acknowledged my presence
So please don't draw this out
So please don't prolong this
When I gave you all you asked for
When I fulfilled all your requests
You lift me up, you let me down gently
You provide support, then gently disappoint
You lift me up, you let me down hard
You uplift me, then let me down forcefully
You lift me up, you let me down gently
You raise me, then gently lower me
Whatever it takes to tear us apart
Regardless of what it takes to separate us
So here we go again
Once again, we are in a repeating pattern
In a never-ending sequence
In an endless cycle
Of where and what and when
Of uncertain locations and times
It's like I'm constantly on the defense
It feels like I'm always defending myself
Oh, but no offense, you say
Oh, but you say, without intending harm
No need to be so defensive
No need to be defensive
I'm tired of building all these walls
I'm tired of constructing barriers
I'm losing all my senses
I'm losing my ability to perceive
Okay, I see it now
Now I understand
Our world is upside down
Our world is chaotic
The crater's coming to cradle us apart
The inevitable separation is approaching
You lift me up, you let me down gently
You raise me, then gently disappoint
You lift me up, you let me down hard
You uplift me, then let me down forcefully
You lift me up, you let me down gently
You raise me, then gently lower me
Whatever it takes to tear us apart
Regardless of what it takes to separate us
You lift me up, you let me down gently
You raise me, then gently disappoint
You lift me up, you let me down hard
You uplift me, then let me down forcefully
You lift me up, you let me down gently
You raise me, then gently lower me
Whatever it takes to tear us apart
Regardless of what it takes to separate us
You lift me up, you let me down gently
You raise me, then gently disappoint
Lift me up, you let me down hard
Raise me up, then let me down forcefully
You lift me up, you let me down gently
You raise me, then gently lower me
Whatever it takes to tear us apart
Regardless of what it takes to separate us
You lift me up, you let me down gently
You raise me, then gently disappoint
You lift me up, you let me down hard
You uplift me, then let me down forcefully
You lift me up, you let me down gently
You raise me, then gently lower me
Whatever it takes to tear us apart
Regardless of what it takes to separate us
You lift me up, you let me down gently
You raise me, then gently disappoint
You lift me up, you let me down hard (Don't tear us apart)
You uplift me, then let me down forcefully (Don't tear us apart)
You lift me up, you let me down gently
You raise me, then gently lower me
Whatever it takes to tear us apart
Regardless of what it takes to separate us
