lyrics

When I connect with you
and then you push me away
When I'm alone in a room
you send me packing again.
I've had my thumb on the pulse
but you never answered the phone
If I could hear you again
you make me ever hopeful.

You know you severed the line
I tried so hard to repair
What kind of games do you play
that leave me circling my tail.
You're like a pawn in command
in exile wearing a crown
Every decision I've made
Is a division for you.

Cos in my mind
It's indecision that only you see
And in your mind
I make divisions that only you read.

There's no excuses anymore
There's no excuses left for you to explore
When I'm not talking to you
There's nothing you can say that i won't ignore.

Like a pawn in command of all of these decisions
In the palm of your hand there's all of these conditions
Like a pawn in command with all of these divisions
Like a pawn in your hand with all of these decisions
