Oh here you are, there's nothing left to say. You're not supposed to be that way Did they push you out, did they throw you away? Touch me now and I don't care. When you take me I'm not there. Almost human, but I'll never be the same. Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own. Long way down, I don't want to live in here alone. Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own. I never put you down, I never pushed you away. You're not supposed to be that way. And anything you want, there's nothing I could say. Is there anything to feel? Is it pain that makes you real? Cut me off before it kills me. Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own. Long way down, I don't want to live in here alone. Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own. I never put you down, I never pushed you away. Take another piece of me. Give my mind a new disease. And the black and white world never fades to gray. Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own. Long way down, I don't want to live in here alone. Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own.
