I was asleep when she called she said I didn't want to know
she said she needed me tonight she was still high when I got home
and I'm awakend I’ve been thinking trying to deny the truth
that I let myself depend a little bit too much on you
I'm on the walls holding on trying not to fall apart
nothing changes but your face and your name and who you are
giving in I close my eyes giving up without a sound
I've got nothing left but time what goes up must come down
so give me one word to dull the pain of everything that's come before
give me one taste of something better something different something more
I give this part of me to you because I've had enough
there is no reason to go on you've made me weak you've made me wrong you've made me soft
I carried on like a machine I never cared until I broke
I stayed up all night on caffeine clove cigarettes and Cherry Coke
another morning another street another day in the life
in the dark we whisper secrets in your truth there's only lies
I'm on the walls falling apart giving up giving in
and the words you speak leave scars on both sides of my skin
awake I close my eyes away I lose my mind
sometimes I want to leave sometimes I want to die
so give me one word to dull the pain of everything that's come before
give me one taste of something better something else something more
I give this part of me to you because I've had enough
there is no reason to go on I know I'm weak I Know I'm wrong you make me soft
I can see you when I close my eyes I can't make you go away
she bought some cocaine and some knives she says it keeps her sane
and I tell her it's all right when everything is wrong
you know I get so tired sometimes sometimes I just want all of this to stop.
I let you break me
I let you shape me
I let you change me
I hate what you’ve made me
soft
so give me one word to dull the pain of everything that's come before
give me one taste of something better something different something more
I give this part of me to you I think that I should stop
there is no reason to go on I am so weak I am so lost you make me soft
