day after the day,
i pretend that all is okay
but i can sense it,
in the back of my head
something's broken away...

and night after night
i let it go on, like it's right
but i'm condescending,
by pretending i'm not me
with all of my might......

won't you come and see me
just stay behind the line
protect yourself and your friends
because the knives
they have sharp ends

and if it's too much for you
just go and run away
you didn't have to come
so you know you
don't have to stay

where did all the smiles go
they must have gone while i wasn't looking
i swear one day we're something
but my mind was left there cooking up
some lie for me

now i'm lost and i'm broken
and no sleep reeks from my eyes
and all the blue's been taken
from my once so pretty skies

don't you see that i need you
i need you
i need you
i need you.....
