Sinking
Wanting
Thinking
Sinking all the while
* it hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone
When it's cold outside
When it's cold inside
When it hurts to be alone
It hurts to be alone
*
When I'm feeling it
When I'm down and out
When I'm feeling it
When I'm down and out
*
All torn up
All torn down
Yeah
I'm thinking that I'm sinking
And I'm sinking all the while
*
Falling down
Falling down
I stand up
To fall back down
*
Caving in
Caving in
I think my heart
Is caving in
*
Dead air
Dead phone
Dead quiet
Sinking all the while
*
Writhing my hands
Grinding my teeth
Staring at the floor
Sinking all the while
*
Cutting my teeth on the blues
Soul sinking to the bottom of my shoes
Thinking my life's a waiting game
Staring at my grave and feeling the same
*
When I want what I want
When I want what I want
When I need it
I need it
*
When all I need
Is all I need
When I need it
I need it
*
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
