[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
You had been so stone-faced
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 absorb 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 had been fighting
Close your eyes and kiss my forehead
"Baby you don’t have to do this"
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 hoping he’ll come back
There’s only one window in these four walls
Its has no glass but I never fall
Even though I’m constantly searching
Down six stories silent and hurting
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
This human life
