Throw your dollar bills And leave your thrills All here with me And speak but don't pretend I won't defend you anymore you see It aches in every bone
They suck you in like cigarettes While hanging you out to dry, yeah Making you feel like a hypocrite Because you cannot lie, yeah You are the reason
I guess I like it when we play (The way you drag me down) I guess I like it when you hate me (The way you drag me down) ?Cause I can't face myself in
I'll try to hide myself, give this to someone else My hands are stained with scum, wish I could wash it away You keep taking on, taking on away And keep
Hold me now, I need to feel relief Like I never wanted anything I suppose I'll let this go And find a reason I'll hold on to I'm so ashamed of defeat
Here she's coming and she's drunk again She's only seventeen Her daddy said, "Well, that's enough of that Come be my little queen" And now he's touching
Take the night and darken everything around me Call the clouds and listen closely, I'm lost without you Call your name everyday, when I feel so helpless
Trust all the things I tell you are true Dress up in your best so I can be proud of you And never believe I won't turn on you And never believe I do this
Watch it blow my mind, it's something I am ill prepared to remedy But let it slow the time, it takes to die And close your eyes to your enemy, defy Self
So I said this once before I'm never gonna give you in No, not again 'Cause I've wasted all I've known To watch it fade and slip away now From my hands
Well, the tongue inside my mouth is not for sale Any spirit left in me is fading fast Could you throw another stone to ease my pain? Could you throw another
Will I fall again into dismay? Will I be ashamed of crying? And I know it's never been the way that I described But I am afraid of trying She's the one
Must be something they're hiding Must be reasons that no one will dare to tell Must be something inside me But I don't think so anymore It's hurting
I'm your plastic man Wish I can be the one you could be proud of I'm losing heart again Wish I could show you what you think I'm made of Someday I know
You could've been the real one You could've been the one enough for me You could've been the free one The broken down and sick one Remnant of a vacant
It irks me when I get burned And I realize, I don't get hurt And always, it seems I've lost my way When I feel you, it's not enough And I need you to
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well I wanna
Who?s to know if your soul will fade at all? The one you sold to fool the world You lost your self-esteem along the way, yeah Good god, you're comin?
