Busy Signal

Tired of waiting for the phone to ring
All this calling back and forth
Want to trouble the waters
But don’t want to rock the boat
Nobody said it would be easy
But this is rocket science
Trying to find my way back to myself
Are you a stone in the water that guides
Me to shore
Or have I turned you into
An anchor
Both of us going down together
Drowning in past chances
How did we get here?
Waiting again to be rescued
When I should just go on and save myself

I’ve learned the hard way
That I see through a glass darkly
It’s all smoke and mirrors
Heroes are villains
And friends can never become lovers
The hardest thing to do is
Hurt someone you love
Why is it always the only way to win?
