I lay here silent

How do I tell her

How far away I feel

With every breath she tries to hold tighter

But far away is all I feel



You needed a hand and I tried to be that hand

But life is yours to hold

Strap down tight it's going to be a long ride

It's time you ride alone



Then she said I found god

But I'm not the god you see

Don't leave me like this

Alone, she said

I died to be with you

I took my own life with my own hands

Listen to me

'Cause I can't save you

Listen to me - listen

I've got to save myself



Then she said I found god

But I'm not the god you see

Put your nails in me

She said she's never felt alive



Then she said I found god

But I'm not the god you see

And could never be

No, I can't save you

Put your nails in me
