A little sleep, a little slumber
A little folding of the hands
Left you weak, left you hungry
When there's supply you still demandYou're beginning to drag the ones you love down
Will this phase ever end?
A thousand arms to hold you
But you won't reach for any hands 'causeI don't feel like I'm
Getting through to you
Let me paint this clear
Life is short, my dear
See your mother here
Her last painful year
I wish you only knew
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for youMaybe you should just fall
And leave the world and lose it all
And if that's what you need
To finally see
I'll be with you through it allBring on the pills, roll the dollar bill
Medicating will never heal
Relapse, rehab, repeat
Always thinking about the me, me, meSelf-destruct, spiral down
Until your want becomes your need
Please get up like I know you can
Or forever love the fall 'causeI don't feel like I'm
Getting through to you
Let me paint this wheel
Life is short, my dear
See your mother here
Her last painful year
I wish you only knew
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for youMaybe you should just fall (just fall)
And leave the world and lose it all (leave the world and lose it all)
And if that's what you need
To finally see
I'll be with you through it all (I'll be with you through it all)I can't stand to see you down
Strung out, off the wagon, and undwound
But steady, steady, oh God, Jenny, Jenny
I can't bear to hear the sound of your body, body
Hitting the groundI can't stand to see you down
Strung out, off the wagon, and undwound
But steady, steady, Oh God, Jenny, Jenny
I can't bear to hear the sound of your body body
Hitting the groundOh, Jenny, Jenny, JennyShe stuck around for you
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for youMaybe you should just fall
Leave the world and lose it all
If that's what you need to finally see
She loved you through it allMaybe you should just fall
Leave the world and lose it all
If that's what you need to finally see
She loved you through it all
And I'll be with you through it all
