Naked and alone awoke from shortened sleep
A laundry list of promises that I just couldn't keep
Finding love is hard, losing it is simple
Depression can't be cured by hitting metal cymbals
Staying up, late as I can on a weeknight I'm putting off all of my work that I really should do
Midnight it comes rolling round and my lights are still on because all I can think about is hurting you
Wishing I wasn't at fault but I am and I'm sorry I've left you the way that I did but you know
There comes a point where you have to move on and I'm trying to do it but I can't seem to make it through
Naked and alone, pale and sleepy-eyed
Unbelievable, wish I would've died
Getting too obsessed with those I barely know
My only confidence is hidden by a show
There is no acid that's strong enough to take away all my apathy feelings and regrets in life
There is no medicine heavy enough to be able to comatose me so that I can survive
There is no way that you'd ever forgive me but someday I hope you know why I did everything
There is no doubt in my mind that we had to split up to save both of us from falling off of the swing
I want to rip off all of my skin
That I walk around, daily within
I want to question every single
Decision that I've made with a grin
I want to clutch somebody real close
Tell them about my dark twisted roads
See if they still want to be a friend
When will this broken roller coaster end?
When will this broken roller coaster end?
Naked and alone, scratches on my knees
Holding back the urge to spur apologies
Wish it all would end, wish it could get fixed
I had never asked for any of this
