Circa 1620

Forget about me
 For a little while
 I'll be the girl in the tower
 Waiting for your call
 I'll admire
 Your independence
 I'll be the girl who's heart's waiting
 Wake me up in Venice
 You had been so stonefaced
 When i talked to you
 I had an explanation
 And a reason
 To break you
 "I don't want your perfect love
 And certainty
 It's too easy to settle down
 I need us to be free"
 You had to asorb that a minute
 All you did was stood up and lift your
 Questioning eyes made me a fighter
 You're so composed, but i'm wiser
 Put your arms around me so tightly
 Swallow the tears you have been fighting
 Close your eyes and kiss my forehead
 "Baby you don't have to do this"
 Forget about me
 For a little while
 I'll be the girl in the tower
 Waiting for your call
 I'll admire
 Your independence
 I'll be the girl who's heart's waiting
 Wake me up in Venice
 So here i am still living life
 Apart from you
 I've had all my hardships
 What have you been through?
 Do you know the concept
 Of eternal love?
 I'm the one who's known it's you
 And never given up
 I've trudged these broken rocks
 Day and night
 For what?
 To be reminded that people change
 Please make sure he knows that
 I'll be here hopping he'll come back
 There's only one window in these four walls
 It has no glass but i never fall
 Even thought i'm constantly searching
 Down six stories silent and hurting
 Forget about me
 For a little while
 I'll be the girl in the tower
 Waiting for your call
 I'll admire
 Your independence
 I'll be the girl who's heart's waiting
 Wake me up in Venice
 I've become numb to this human life
 I've become numb to this human life
 This human life
 I've trudged these broken rocks
 Day and night
 For what?
 To be reminded that people change
 I'm the one who's known it's you
 And never given up
 This human life
