Take This Life

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 curse my 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 rain drops just beg to hit me What now hasn't rained for days No time to play hide-and-seek I call on you to take me on Break me down to pieces Put me back, do it right this time Struggling to fill this empty shell Burn all 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 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 --- Take This Life - In Flames
