It's like a war, like one you've never seen before
And I, I'm frightened all the time
And I never seem to want to even step out of my own life
Do you have the same in mind?
'Cause there's no one else that I know

So I pick up a piece and I put it in pencil
That I need you right now
When I feel somehow
That it's time for me to rest my mind

So if these words reach you, you sure remember what to do
And if these words don't exist yet don't forget
That I tried to reach you and I tried to tell you
That it was true

Regarding all the things that I promised of you
Don't forget the last thing on your mind
It's an important part of the plan
And dear I trust you when I say

Illusions seldom do drop by
And I and I feel it's a mess up here
And I need you and I fear

So if these words reach you, you sure remember what to do
And if these words don't exist yet don't forget
That I tried to reach you and I tried to tell you
That it was true

And if these words reach you, you sure remember what to do
And if these words don't exist yet
Don't forget that I tried and I tried
And I tried to reach you
