lyrics

I tried so hard and then I didn't try at all
Stretched myself too thin
Then rolled back into what was comfortable

And you're always so hard to reach
Why do you make this so hard on me

Sparks of contact in the darkness that I hate
I feel alone but I don't know who to blame

And you're feeling distant
It's impossible to miss it

Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

So I wanna welcome you back into contact
If you come I won't throw no curses
Yeah I wanna welcome you back iconoclast
If you come I'll let you in, I swear I will

Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

I'll let you in, I swear I will
I get mixed up in self-protection
I'm trying hard to keep this door open

Cause I can be a bit hard to reach
And I don't wanna lose this for anything
