[Verse 1: thebreathingbackwards]
I'm stuck sinking in the water (In the water)
And I can't swim
I'm buried six feet by your altar (By your altar)
But it's full of shit
'Cause I say so much, I don't mean it
All complacent to your sheets
I sit in silence when you're not around
[Pre-Chorus: thebreathingbackwards]
But don't tell what I'm wrong for
But it'll only take a song more
I'm picking up the pieces, new
Never let it change me, not again
I won't take another second letting you pretend
That you're picking up the pieces too
No
[Chorus: thebreathingbackwards]
I'm holding on with broken hands
Why can't I let it go?
I'm giving in to your demands
It's everything I know
[Verse 2: thebreathingbackwards]
No more, locking up my front door
Let you out with a little bit of doubt
And a couplе of other people that I lеarnt to live without
We start to lose, so we start anew
Put your wings back, ain't nobody stopping you
I'll be gone in a day, that was wrong when you say
That I'm never gonna find another lover, that's true
[Pre-Chorus: thebreathingbackwards]
But don't tell what I'm wrong for
But it'll only take a song more
I'm picking up the pieces, new
Never let it change me, not again
I won't take another second letting you pretend
That you're picking up the pieces too
No
[Chorus: thebreathingbackwards]
I'm holding on with broken hands
Why can't I let it go?
I'm giving in to your demands
It's everything I know
It's hypnotizing, pulverizing
Feel it freezing from the snow
Tension build up, 'bout to crack
And now I'm never going back
[Bridge: Brody McKeegan]
Sever all the ties and erase all of your lies
Every night I try and take back what all is mine
This was all about you and no, you show it
I was just a part of your game
I cut the rope and I hope when I'm falling I don't choke
In the air, I don't care
That you're never ever there
But I'm out of time (With nowhere to go)
I don't care, it's fine
And I'm better off without you
[Chorus: thebreathingbackwards]
I'm holding on with broken hands
Why can't I let it go?
I'm giving in to your demands
It's everything I know
It's hypnotizing, pulverizing
Feel it freezing from the snow
Tension build up, 'bout to crack
And now I'm never going back
