Intro: 


Verse 1:

Growl:
          
I’m lying down
And you can’t see
          
  Why I’ve gone- to- sleep---

Sing:

Try to relate
Can't give in to your 
    
temptations (temptations)

Growl:

All your hopes and dreams
        
washing away, silently,
Forget everything
        
you've, taught me 
(you've taught me)
                    
When I looked up to you--

Sing:

Fall to your knees
And Give up your 
    
aspirations (aspirations)

Falling to your knees


Breakdown: -----


Chorus:

Sing:
              
So how can you expect
           
me to just close my eyes

Growl:
                
And forget your mistakes

Sing:
              
Defending you is getting
              
harder everyday day


Verse 2:

Growl:
             
I'm breaking down
The ending’s near
The final call, to
        
make it through-
             
You’ll choose--

Sing:

Try to relate
forget everything 
       
you've taught me
(you've taught me)
     
When I looked up to you


(Repeat Breakdown)
(Repeat chorus)

Bridge:

Sing:
                     
  I look inside myself for strength
                     
Like a million times before
               
You'll never let it in 
                
because I know you said
               
I know you said I know
I know, I know, I know


Verse 3: Beat switched back to fast

Growl:
              
Fall how can you let- 
    
it- go? (let it go)
             
  How can you be this way

  I'll never forget 
(Never forget)
         
  Where I come from
           
Where I've been,
                       
I'll never become, you


(Repeat Chorus twice)


Sing this line as backup vocals 
while the 2nd trun of chorus

I look inside myself for strength
Like a million times before
You'll never let it in
Can you look inside yourself?
Is it hurting you at all? 
You'll never let it in


Outro:

Growl:
                (hold)
You've lost it all
