[Verse 1]
Lost in time, I can't count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of these harsh thoughts‚ so unkind
'Cause I wanted you‚ I wanted you
And now I sit here‚ I'm all alone
So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
A circle of angels, deep in war
'Cause I wanted you‚ I wanted you
[Chorus]
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am‚ I'm no one's fool
Weak as I am
[Verse 2]
But what am I now but love's last home?
I'm all of the soft words, I once owned
If I opened my heart, there'd be no space for air
'Cause I wanted you, I wanted you
[Chorus]
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I'm no one's fool
Weak as I am
[Bridge]
With this changing soul in this weak old heart
Oh baby, ain't I too much for you
With this changing soul in this weak old heart
Oh baby, ain't I too much for you
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Lost in time, I can't count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of these harsh thoughts. so unkind
'Cause I wanted you, I wanted you
[Chorus]
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, I'm nobody's fool
Deep as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am
Weak as I am, I'm too much for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, I'm nobody's fool
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Lost in time, I can't count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of these harsh thoughts‚ so unkind
'Cause I wanted you‚ I wanted you
And now I sit here‚ I'm all alone
So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
A circle of angels, deep in war
'Cause I wanted you‚ I wanted you
[Chorus]
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am‚ I'm no one's fool
Weak as I am
[Verse 2]
But what am I now but love's last home?
I'm all of the soft words, I once owned
If I opened my heart, there'd be no space for air
'Cause I wanted you, I wanted you
[Chorus]
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I'm no one's fool
Weak as I am
[Bridge]
With this changing soul in this weak old heart
Oh baby, ain't I too much for you
With this changing soul in this weak old heart
Oh baby, ain't I too much for you
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Lost in time, I can't count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of these harsh thoughts. so unkind
'Cause I wanted you, I wanted you

Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, I'm nobody's fool
Deep as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am
Weak as I am, I'm too much for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, I'm nobody's fool
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
