Walks in with his gaze set on his habit

Every day he’s got to have it

Doesn't notice where I am

As he puts a bottle on the table

Can't resist but says he's able

And I try to understand

How he lost himself right at here at home

Why does he think he's not enough?

He's not enough

How many does it take

To feel nothing at all

How many does it take

Till there’s nothing to recall

How many does it take

Till the anger’s washed away

And you can’t control the ache

How many, how many does it take

He tries to make amends with what’s inside him

Every time I see him fighting

Never stops but he says he can

As he falls apart he says he’s sorry

Keeps on damaging his body

And now I understand

How he lost himself right at here at home

Why does he think he's not enough?

He's not enough

How many does it take

To feel nothing at all

How many does it take

Till there’s nothing to recall

How many does it take

Till the anger’s washed away

And you can’t control the ache

How many, how many does it take

As his troubled thoughts begin to taunt him

And his words come back to haunt him

It takes him piece by piece

So he knows there’s no way that he can hide it

There’s an answer he can’t find yet

Something’s lost but nothing’s gained
