I sleep with my hands across my chest And i dream off you with someone else I feed my body with things i don't need until i sink to the bottom Don't act like it came as a surprise Don't believe me?, then look into these eyes This can't go on so i should just regret it regret it regret it And even though i led you on forget it forget it forget it I'm going missing for a little while I've got nothing left to loose I don't listen to anything I still remember how you move And i taste your scent upon my lips Well how it started, i will never know But now I've reached my limit Do you ever want to wear your body out? Until there's nothing left to take? The rain began to push you away Has midnight come too soon again? I've got nothing in defense I've got nothing left to loose I sleep with my hands across my chest and i dream of you with someone else
