A coma might feel better than this Attempting to discover where to begin You're weighed down, you're full of something Of sickness, and desertion You're weighed down, you're full of something You're underneath it all So say goodbye to love And hold your head up high There's no need to rush We're all just waiting, waiting to die Hoping a better place is all I need With moments of innocence and mystery Oh, it's the little things you miss Like waking up all alone Oh, it's the little things you miss When you're underneath it all So say goodbye to love And hold your head up high There's no need to rush We're all just waiting, waiting to die All your friends seem like enemies When you're broken down and empty All your friends seem like enemies When you're broken down and empty So say goodbye to love And hold your head up high There's no need to rush We're all just waiting, waiting to die
