Take This Life Lyrics

It's not so much the pain
It's more the actual knife
Pretending the picture is perfect
I cut myself to sleepI close my eyes for a second
And meet a fragile soul
I scream to hide that I'm lonely
The echo calls my nameIf I ever, if I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see, make me be
Make me understand you're there for meTake 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 inThe water drops just beg to hit me
Why now? Haven't rained for days
No time to play hide and seek
I call upon you to take me onBreak me down to pieces
Put me back, do it right this time
Struggling to fill this empty stream

Burn my efforts in the end it means nothingIf I ever, if I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see, make me be
Make me understand you're there for meTake 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 inThese 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 feelingOh 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 meTake 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
