Lyrics for I Built You A Tower (b)

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
