lyrics

I fell down again, but I can't complain.
Another false step could drive me insane.
I've only got myself here to blame, so,
I shake off the feeling and then I start again.
Oh no, I said I want to go back,
But I can't win this shit,
And I'm gonna' stay on track.
Yeah, make a deal like that.
I keep my head up, but I never react.

I wrote it down, a list a month ago.
Sixteen chapters of one thing you've blown.
The best thing yet, to help you through and through,
That she was, I feel her more than you.

Don't leave.
Don't leave her.

I get up just to get knocked back down.
I sit up just to get knocked all around.
I want to say something, but you're out of town.
I don't want to have another shut down.
I said stand up, hey, yo, let's make it clear.
Followed you home, no, you were not there.
You saw me coming and jumped, you disappeared.
Who knew everything would seem so clear?

You think you see me here all alone.
Got my crew coming now,
One by one.
Two by two.
Three by three.
Four by four.
Let's do some more.

Call me back when word is that she's gone.
Cat-like thief, she stole air from my lungs.
Leave me standing on this lonely grave.
I dug it out in case she turns away.

Don't leave.
Don't leave her.
