In a Mississippi hotel roomI was wounded and confusedAs I watched the 10 o’clock newsI was waiting on a late night callThat I knew would never comeAnd though I doubt it’s what you’d wantI call you from the steps outsideYou say you were fast asleepAnd every lies, it tortures meI can’t kill what does not bleedSo please explainCan you tell me what it is you need?‘Cause I’ve been trying, still I cannot seeThese wasted moments brought me to my kneesI just wanna give you everythingIf morning is my darkest timeIn the night I sometimes findThere is comfort without lieI’ve been living with no hopeIt was a shame to let it goBut it was drowning me so slowI’ve never felt so far awayFrom the boy I used to beAnd I wonder what he’d seeFrom the corner of some shipHe met me todayCan you tell me what it is you need?‘Cause I’ve been trying, still I cannot seeThese wasted moments brought me to my kneesI just wanna give you everythingIn the letter that you wrote me lastThere were words that burned to hearAnd red lipstick on the mirrorYou said loving me’s a great mistake‘Cause I have never loved myselfAnd I am sorry if you foundBut maybe you could offer helpTo someone like meCan you tell me what it is you need?‘Cause I’ve been trying, still I cannot seeThese wasted moments brought me to my kneesI just wanna give you everything
