I'm about to lose my sanity I think
But I feel fine
Just take these pills they said
It won't hurt much just numb you on the inside
I don't know how to feel anymore but I want it I want it
I can't get off of the ground
I'm so tired of fighting this
You said you'd be there for me so where are you now
I never thought you'd be the one to bring me down
I don't know what you're chasing but you taught me one thing
When life gets hard to handle
Run away
My dreams are getting worse I can't help wondering if he's still there with you
I need to get some sleep but my nightmares keep turning to reality
I don't know if you care anymore but I want it I want it
I'll try to pick myself up if I remember how
You said you'd be there for me so where are you now
I never thought you'd be the one to bring me down
I don't know what you're chasing but you taught me one thing
When life gets hard to handle give up and run away
I wouldn't stand so close
I tend to swing in all directions when I break my self down
I wouldn't stand so close
I tend to project my depression when I am on the ground

It'll be nine years this spring since I saw your smile
The irony is death seems like just a word till it comes to life
I remember standing alone at your funeral
Sweat and tears coming down my face
With a fever of 102
Your family wanted us to play songs for you
The lump in my throat wouldn't go away for weeks
You were taken away too soon
And I want you to know that I haven't forgotten you
And I can't help but wonder if I had called you that day
Would you still be here
You'd probably be writing these songs with me
You were always so much better than me
You'd probably be writing these songs with me
You were always so much better than me
And I want you to know that I haven't forgotten you
And I can't help but wonder if I had called you that day
Would you still be here
And I want you to know that I haven't forgotten you
And I can't help but wonder if I had called you that day
Would you still be here
I remember your face like yesterday and I miss you

My mind's been floating around for months
Most of my dreams have turned to dust
Out of my head I'm in the ground
So when I'm here I'm not around
Searching for answers you already know
Drowning in search of where to go
Maybe I'll never find the right answer
What was the question I don't remember
Maybe there's poison in my blood
I push away everything I love
My bottle's busted up inside
Just take your heart and let me die
I put all my cards in the wrong place
There's no more coals to be thrown in my face
I can't imagine what you saw in me
My will has been broken and left me so empty
Maybe there's poison in my blood
I push away everything I love
My bottle's busted up inside
Just take your heart and let me die
So if you find my body at the bottom of the river
Pull me up and take me home
Bury me beside my first love
That's where i'll always belong
So if you find my body at the bottom of the river
Pull me up and take me home
Bury me beside my first love
That's where i'll always belong

My Apologies

I watched the sunset from the car window
And I couldn't find the words to say
You turned and asked me what was wrong
And I just blankly stared away
You turned away and wondered what you'd done wrong
With defeat on your face
Oh the way you made my soul burn that summer
And taught me how to feel
Where have I been
And I didn't want to hurt you but my faults were greater than my apologies
My Apologies
I woke up in a cold sweat in the middle of the floor
And I screamed out your name
Ran through the hall in my apartment
But you'd already gone away
I fell there too weak to climb the stairs
I guess I came too late
I guess I came too late
Oh the way you made my soul burn that summer
And taught me how to feel
Where have I been
And I didn't want to hurt you but my faults were greater than my apologies
My Apologies
My Apologies
I pushed you so far away
I just wish that you'd come home
I'm sorry
I just wish that you'd come home
I'm sorry
I just wish that you'd come home
I'm so sorry
I woke up and you were lying next to me
I just hope it's not a dream
If this moment could last forever
It wouldn't be long enough for me

I'm sorry for the things that I've done
I'm sorry that there always was a fight to be won
I'm sorry for walking away
Forgive me for the things that I've said
For all the bad thoughts that I've had in my head
And for never realizing how much I had here
Just know this is not goodbye
Oh no please don't cry
Please don't cry
You came into my life like a dream passing by
You took my breath away
But I never thought that I would have to see us fall apart
We started a fire that slowly burned out
And there's only ashes to show for us now
And it hurts so bad to know
That there's nothing I can say to make it ok
But no you don't have to go
Please stay
Don't go away
Don't go away
But I have a spark that is still burning through
So I will be waiting right here for you
As long as I have breath
I will love you
And so I guess this is goodbye
Oh no please don't cry
I'll love you till the day that I die
