In Vain Lyrics

The evidence was there for you to point the finger,
A momentary lapse casts me into oblivion.
Am I wasting all this time
Just trying to find the warmth in your eyes?
I've been holding back myself
But I'm closer to the edge.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e58019-under_the_flood~in_vain_lyrics.html ]
Dusk approaches, I'm standing in the city lights.

Am I here in vain?
Did you not hear a word I said
When I asked you, I begged you, to just please let me through.
I have falllen now, will you pick me up again?
In the face of my failures,
I just want you to hear these words.

Forget the obvious mistakes so I can breathe
Let me offer you all that I can give
Don't shut me out again
I'll shake but I will stand
I'm slipping constantly
I've falling off the edge.

Am I here in vain?
Did you not hear a word I said
When I asked you, I begged you, to just please let me through.
I have falllen now, will you pick me up again?
In the face of my failures,
I just want you to hear these words.
