Verse 1
I slowly started chipping
away at this block of stone
in an attempt to fashion a
way to regain your attention
why won't you hear me out?
I started out with some paper
and pen and my apologies
but every time I try
to write to you
I just can never find
the words to explain
Chorus 1
so I'll build a monument to honor you
out of the ruins of the love I knew
I'll turn your favorite memories
into a sight for all to see
because I know when you see
it you'll come back to me

Verse 2
picked me up the phone and I
started to dial your
line from memory
too proud to ever
let you pickup
close to the point
where I should give up
you'll never call me back
so now I'm doing something tangible
I'm working with my hands
because I can never seem to manage
to say I'm sorry in a language
you can comprehend
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge
I'll put it right
outside your window
so it's impossible to ignore
will that be good enough
for you? (for you)
and even if you pulled
your shades down
and burn the statue
to the ground
it'll be enough to bring
your warmth back to me
Chorus 2
a monument to honor you
out of the ruins of the love I knew
I'll turn your favorite memories
into a sight for all to see
because I know when you see
it you'll come back to me
Chorus 3
building a monument to honor you
out of the ruins of the love I knew
I'll turn your favorite memories
into a sight for all to see
because I know when you see
it you'll come back to me
Outro
come back to me
