[Verse 1]

It's not so much the pain

It's more the actual knife

Pretending the picture is perfect

I cut myself to sleep

I close my eyes for a second

And meet a fragile soul

I scream to hide that I'm lonely

The echo calls my name

[Pre-Chorus]

If I ever, If I never

Make me understand the thought whatever

Make me see, make me be

Make me understand you're there for me

[Chorus]

Take this life, I'm right here

Stay a while and breathe me in

Take this life, I'm right here

Stay a while and breathe me in

[Verse 2]

The water drops just beg to hit me

Why now? Hasn't rained for days

No time to play hide and seek

I call upon you to take me on

Break down to pieces

Put me back, do it right this time

Struggling to fill this empty shell

Burn my efforts, in the end it means nothing

[Pre-Chorus]

If I ever, If I never

Make me understand the thought whatever

Make me see, make me be

Make me understand you're there for me

[Chorus]

Take this life, I'm right here

Stay a while and breathe me in

Take this life, I'm right here

Stay a while and breathe me in

[Bridge]

These thoughts, burn a hole in my heart

These thoughts, will keep me feeling

These thoughts, burn a hole in my heart

These thoughts, will keep me feeling

[Pre-Chorus]

If I ever, If I never

Make me understand the thought whatever

Make me see, make me be

Make me understand you're there for me

[Chorus]

Take this life, I'm right here

Stay a while and breathe me in

Take this life, I'm right here

Stay a while and breathe me in
