(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) 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
