(trying to get the message through)
You took the sun from the sky, give it back
You know I wouldn't take a bullet for you
You bring me down 'cause of all that you lack
You're underhanded and you're sly with it too

In a moment of desperation
We forgive and we compromise
Reaching out for that one sensation - life

No time for wasting my time
I'm just trying to get the message through
You hold up a mirror to me
You know that all you'll ever see is you
All you'll ever see is you

You know you won't change the world from your back
But still you lie there like a vacant fool
What happens when all your credit runs out
And I have to be kind to be cruel

In a moment of desperation
We forgive and we close our eyes
Reaching out for that perfect love to survive hey, yeah, yeah

No time for wasting my time
I'm just trying to get the message through (trying to get the message through)
You hold up a mirror to me
You know that all you'll ever see is you
All you'll ever see is you

You just don't get it
Do ya? 

(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
(I'm trying, trying to get the message) baby, baby, baby
(I'm trying, trying to get the message)

In a moment of desperation
We forgive and we close our eyes
Reaching out for that one sensation to survive, hey yeah

No time for wasting my time
I'm just trying to get the message through (trying to get the message through)
You hold up a mirror to me
You know that all you'll ever see is you (ooh-ooh)
All you'll ever see is you

(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
