lyrics

What we had could never last
& I'm watching it fall apart like shards of glass
Every broken bottle I've left drained & smashed
I think I'm hurt, but I'm still breathing
I'm not giving up, I'm giving in

& all the things that could have been...
I'm giving in

If my heart stopped beating
If my blood ran cold with my eyes all sunken in
Would it even quit?
Would this place still reek from this load of shit?

All this time you've batted eyes
On baited breath I've listened to you whine
You're all I've kept inside
I don't know what I'm feeling
But it's all leaving me now

I feel it fading away
I'm blacking out

Every night you've got me falling for it
A lullaby keeping me sedated

When I'm waking up, got it weighing on me
& this bed I've found is all I believe in now
Though you haunt my sheets, it don't keep me from sleep
It's fading now...
