Power lyrics

You were a friend to me
You told me all that was on your mind
And it meant so much to me
From the beginning
How it was so kindred-spirited to mine
I would think of you sometimes
In the early morning
As I dressed to meet a plane
Before the cab came
How I let you down when I had the most to give
How I let you down but you were quick to forgive
You wanted to help me
You wanted to sit and talk for hours
But I wanted power

I tried words
I tried feelings
I tried close-my-eyes believing
I tried getting you on my side
I tried being on top of it
I tried responsibility
I express myself properly
I got blindly angry, with my whole heart in it
But there was no conduit
There was no sure way to it
I thought that I had blown it
The further I got in it
The stranger it was to win it
I could not have it
But still I searched from sheer force of habit
I felt like I was descending
Some strange inverted tower
Looking for my power
