Should I leave
Just let go of
Everythin', anythin'
Should I stay, try to hold on to
What might have been
But I feel I'm
Wasting my time again
Feel like I have
Nothing left to win
Where were you
When I needed a friend?
There's just nothing, nothing left
As I bleed
Though this wounds aren't
Hurting you they're killing me
And I feel this life ain't
Worth hanging on to tonight
So it's real
Say goodbye, no more you and me
No more fights
Only mine, mine and misery
But I feel I'm
Wasting my time again
Feel like I have
Nothing left to win
Where were you
When I needed a friend?
Is there nothing, nothing, nothing left?
As I bleed
Though this wounds aren't
Hurting you they're killing me
And I feel this life ain't
Worth hanging on to tonight
Ain't worth hanging on to tonight
As I bleed
Though this wounds aren't
Hurting you they're killing me
And I feel this life ain't
Worth hanging on tonight
But I feel I'm
Wasting my time again
Feel like I have
Nothing left to win
Where were you
When I needed a friend?
