Taproot lead vocalist Stephen Richards said that the song is about dealing with his mother’s health issues. He also said that Billy Corgan wrote the guitar riff in the song for Taproot.
Tonight, I'm freaking out again
Tonight, I'm thinking so low
All I wanted was a friend
All I have got is no one
Tonight I'll sleep alone
I won't sleep at all
My heart isn't alive
Right now I'm sinking further down
Right now I'm breaking inside
A long drive to see you lie in bed
A long ride wishing for your life
Tonight I'll stay with you
And I will get us through
My heart ripped from my chest
Too late, I hope not for this
My heart isn't alive
Nauseous, preparing for the worst
Cautious, repairing open wounds
Yet somehow believing in a chance
It'll turn out to be another test
And you'll come back again
My heart ripped from my chest
Too late I hope not for this
My heart isn't alive
My arms carry the weight
Two hands, folded yet straight
My arms, closed in a prayer for you
I'm lost in the woods
They say
To me
Right now I'm sinking further down
Right now I'm breaking in - side
My heart ripped from my chest
Too late, I hope not for this
My heart isn't alive (x2)
My arms carry the weight
Two hands, folded yet straight
My arms, closed in a prayer for you
Tonight I'll stay with you
