Take This Life

It's not so much the pain

It's more the actual knife

Pretending the picture is perfect

I cut myself to sleep

I close my eyes for a second

And meet the 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 see

make me be

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 raindrops just beg to hit me

What now? Hasn't rained for days

No time to play hide-and-seek

I call on 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 see

make me be

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

These thoughts

Burn a hole in my heart

These thoughts

Will keep me feeling

These thoughts

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 see

make me be

Make me understand

You're there for me

Take this life

I'm right here

Stay awhile and breathe me in

Take this life

I'm right here

Stay awhile and breathe me in
