Everything is breaking
Everything is falling apart
Our faith is shaking
But I don't want to be another failed try on a broken chart
We're so lonely
But you are the only one I want.

When you are no longer the one to love me, then who will hold me?
Who will tell me that it's gonna be alright
When will I give up the fight
Because I can no longer make it through the night
Surrounded by my demons
Lost without my angel.


Too many nights spent shedding tears
Too many nights without cheer.
You. I need you.

When you are no longer the one to hold me, then who will love me?
Because I'm broken
Left behind with forgotten needs
I will sink down to the bottom of the sea
Forgetting what it's like to be free

I need you more that before
I just need you, tonight
So that I will be alright.

Suffocating on words that haven't been spoken
Trying to make up new ones to erase the past
Staring at the empty vast
Twenty-four hours to say what you need
But not enough time to say what you mean

Cramps over words that haven't been written
Empty pages full of headaches and stress
Not knowing which word to address
Trying to type with numb fingers
Paper after paper until you fill acres

Drowning over stories that haven't been told
Trying to make the new and re-invent the old
Wrapping your mind around imaginary time
This is something you can't mime
Looking in other people for stories to make your own
But it's hard to find them so you feel weak
And let the pain fill you week by week

Knees aching over things that haven't got old
Gold necklaces and price tags that we leave in bags
Going under debt just to fit in
Using the last bit of ink from the same pen
Needing a new book to write in
But there's not enough money in the couch cushions
So you pack your dreams and start pushing

Worrying over time that hasn't happened
Our hearts beat even when we're down six feet
Burying yourself in things that you can't beat
Rushing to make things great
But still trying not to break

The amount of irony in the world is too much to handle
War that doesn't end with peace
But we're breaking piece by piece
Gluing ourselves back together but missing the tiny cracks between
Stuck on everything with hope for nothing.

You could break almost everything
Shattering everyone into nothing
Hold your head up so high
While I want to say good-bye

Good-bye to all the painful memories
Good-bye to begging on my knees
I remember everything from broken glass to the flying keys
Good-bye to us

Champagne classes full of empty wishes
Empty seats that my heart misses
Lost dreams between the sheets
A beautiful melody lost in high receipts

Something too close, yet something too far
Not ready to hear you say "Raise the bar"
The heat is too hot
And I can't hear any of my thoughts
Blurred out by the screaming

One last clink of the glass to say
Good-bye to us.

Your tongue has been ripped out
And you've been thrown out
Into the darkness with the beasts
A fire burning at your feet
People chanting for your defeat

Nails ripped off
****** fingers with throbbing pain
Eyes taken out
Letting your skin burn as you try to shout
Slowly leaving the world
As your insides twirl

Not enough breath to say goodbye
Not enough time to save your life
