It never fails

just when I'm over you
when all is said and done
when my head is clear on track
when the battle in my heart is won
it never fails, you'll come.

It never fails

just when I'm back to being me
narrowing my options to one
and set off in that direction
to seek adventure, love, and fun
it never fails, you'll come.

It never fails

I can't build walls against you
having you a little is better than none
so instead of putting up bricks
I carry them, though they weigh a ton
it never fails, you come

and you take them off my shoulders
a fleeting thought that I should run
but naked and exposed I stand
while my heart burns in your sun
and then you leave again
leaving me cold and numb

it never fails.
