Take This Life lyrics

It's not so much the pain

It's more the actual knife

Pretend that the picture is perfect

I cut myself to sleep

I close my eyes for a second

And meet a fragile soul

I scream to hide that I'm lonely

The echo calls my name

If I ever

If I never

Make me understand the thought whatever

Make me say

Make me pay

Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life

I'm right here

Stay a while and breathe me in

Take this life

I'm right here

Stay a while and breathe me in

The water drops just beg to hit me

Why now? Hasn't rained for days

No time to play hide and seek

I called upon you to take me on

Break me down to pieces

Put me back, do it right this time

Struggling to fill this empty shell

Burn my efforts in the end it means nothing

If I ever

If I never

Make me understand the thought whatever

Make me say

Make me pay

Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life

I'm right here

Stay a while and breathe me in

Take this life

I'm right here

Stay a while and breathe me in

[instrumental]

These thougths burn a hole in my heart

These thoughts will keep me feeling

These thougths burn a hole in my heart

These thoughts will keep me feeling

If I ever

If I never

Make me understand the thought whatever

Make me say

Make me pay

Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life

I'm right here

Stay a while and breathe me in

Take this life

I'm right here

Stay a while and breathe me in
