I woke up late
thought about you for as long as I could take
but the pain ran through so strong
and it ended on a bad note
nobody can help
nobody could save me now
I'm broken and my arms are scarred
as I thought about what we could be
tears streamed down my face
the love we had was so strong
and now it's so weak
we're both broken and on a major danger streak
my mind rolls downhill and drifts away from me
my words hold no meaning
and my hands are shaking
but I hide so much from you
and you never seem to care
so I take it out on myself
because I'm the only one there
I can't hold on like this anymore (*3)
these thoughts that haunt me
and the things that get my heart racing
they're killing me ever so slowly
and you're getting in the way
I can't hold on like this anymore (*3)
Sometimes I feel like letting go
no one would care anyway
maybe the feelings are wrong
and I should let it go
but my mind and body are being crushed
by the weight of gravity and all the hate I get from you
sometimes I feel I must run away
and sometimes I feel like I'm just in the way
maybe I should just bud out
let others run me cause I can't
let others help me live cause I won't
I can't hold on like this anymore (*3)
these thoughts that haunt me
and the things that get my heart racing
they're killing me ever so slowly
and you're getting in the way
I can't hold on like this anymore (*3)
Nobody knows the pain I hold back
and the tears I try not to let go
the scars on my arms tell a horrific story
of love, hate, anguish, and glory
but the pain that reaches me
contaminates the brain
corrupts the mind
crushes the heart
yes, I may cry but it doesn't mean I'm weak
it just means I was strong enough have a life to keep
to the tears that were left unnoticed
and all the people who turned a blind eye
you make me very sick
and you're the reason that I cry
I can't hold on like this anymore (*3)
these thoughts that haunt me
and the things that get my heart racing
they're killing me ever so slowly
and you're getting in the way
I can't hold on like this anymore (*3)
the saddest people smile the brightest
because they know how awful it feels to cry
they keep others happy at the expense of their joy
and all the while these bitches laugh and point
and never want to help me
but deep inside I know it's true
when I'm around I'm cast aside
and no one sees the pain I hold
deep inside my bones
I can't hold on like this anymore (*3)
these thoughts that haunt me
and the things that get my heart racing
they're killing me ever so slowly
and you're getting in the way
I can't hold on like this anymore (*3)
I can't keep up with this ruse
I can't keep up with all the smiles
because deep inside my chest
I have a heart just like yours
and it beats just the same
it may break more easily
and be more fragile than yours too
but if my feelings mattered
then you would still be around
and because you left me
I may be crushed and destroyed
but every dog has his days
and I'm about to have mine
I can't think of how awful it must be to not have me
but I know how it feels to be without you
I love you no matter what they say it will always be true
but you have pushed me over the line
and now I'm gone
I may have woke up late
but now I'll never wake again
