Everything

In a Mississippi hotel room
 I was wounded and confused
 As I watched the 10 o'clock news
 I was waiting on a late night call
 That I knew would never come
 And though I doubt it's what you'd want
 I call you from the steps outside
 You say you were fast asleep
 And every lies, it tortures me
 I can't kill what does not bleed
 So please explain
 Can you tell me what it is you need?
 'Cause I've been trying, still I cannot see
 These wasted moments brought me to my knees
 I just wanna give you everything
 If morning is my darkest time
 In the night I sometimes find
 There is comfort without lie
 I've been living with no hope
 It was a shame to let it go
 But it was drowning me so slow
 I've never felt so far away
 From the boy I used to be
 And I wonder what he'd see
 From the corner of some ship
 He met me today
 Can you tell me what it is you need?
 'Cause I've been trying, still I cannot see
 These wasted moments brought me to my knees
 I just wanna give you everything
 In the letter that you wrote me last
 There were words that burned to hear
 And red lipstick on the mirror
 You said loving me's a great mistake
 'Cause I have never loved myself
 And I am sorry if you found
 But maybe you could offer help
 To someone like me
 Can you tell me what it is you need?
 'Cause I've been trying, still I cannot see
 These wasted moments brought me to my knees
 I just wanna give you everything
