I Built You A Tower (B) Lyrics by Death Cab For Cutie
I built you a tower in my mind
A place that no one else could ever find
‘Cause I needed you contained
You’d run circles ’round my brain
Until I could not think of anything else
At first the silence felt like an old friend
We were estranged for many years but made amends
But into that empty space
My fears began to race
Until I could not think of anything else
I’m learning how to
Live without you
But these ruminations
Are all about you
I thought that I could keep you locked away
That in this soundless spire was where you’d stay
But there was no cage or shape
That you could not escape
What a fool I was to think I was safe
I’m learning how to
Live without you
But these ruminations
Are all about you
And it makes me tired
So tired
I’m learning how to
Live without you
But these ruminations
Are all about you
It makes me tired
So tired
It makes me tired
So tired
It makes me tired
So tired
It makes me tired
So tired
