I try to know when to leave She sits in the bedroom and grieves There's a sequence that starts all again She can't get up anymore with the pain The combination of these drugs Has left her hopeless and lost She wants to count the ways But she can't count again [Chorus] I will be right here Till all the pain Just disappears I will always stay Till all this light Just kills the day I strangle my words Once, I tried a thousand times Slaughtered like Gods When the silver shines so hard I tried to poison my life Always dreaming on the edge of the knife She always looked backwards And I can sit here for even ten minutes or more [Chorus] Oh hold on Oh hold on Oh hold on Just try again, again [Chorus] Oh hold on Oh hold on Oh hold on Just try again
