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 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 awhile and breathe me in Take this life, I'm right here Stay awhile and breathe me in The water drops just beg to hit me Why now? Hasn'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 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 awhile and breathe me in Take this life, I'm right here Stay awhile and breathe me in 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 awhile and breathe me in Take this life, I'm right here Stay awhile and breathe me in
