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 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 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 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 on      Break 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 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      Oh 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
