failure by design

Kensington

Yeah, I was all alone
Walking in the streetlight through the rain
Yeah, I ve been sleeping on my own (ooh)
You had a certain tone
A cease and desist, yeah, I remember
I missed it to be living on my own (ooh)

Now tell me what to tell, tell me how to help
How easy it is ever to open up to you?
I was never there, I was never more
I was never more than a victim
of collateral consequence to you
Now tell me you want me, I want you too
I tell you I want you, I tell you I need you and I had to

I had to draw the line
I m on the way down over here
Just gotta hold on
A failure by design
I wanted a way out, out of here

Screaming on the phone
Gotta admit that I was longing to live
I might be better off alone (but I don t know for sure)

You were never there, you were never more
You were never more
than a gifted deliberate consequence, you know?
I can t tell with this proximity

I had to draw the line
I m on the way down over here
Just gotta hold on
A failure by design
I wanted a way out, out of here

Now tell me you want me
Tell me you need me, I want you too
I tell you I want you, I tell you I need you and I had to
Now tell me you want me
Tell me you need me, I want you too
I tell you I want you, I tell you I need you and I had to

I had to draw the line
I m on the way down over here
Just gotta hold on
A failure by design
I wanted a way out, out of here
