I’m so tired
and I’m still shaking.
See the soul you took
was of my making
so I ask you kindly,
“Give it back to me.”
Because it’s bad enough
I have to restart,
but to beg like this,
is the worst part.
I ask you again,
“Give it back to me.”
Be it broken or bruised.
Be it slightly over used.
You run me down
on this high horse that you reign.
And leave me broken
so that I can feel the pain.
When I am humble
I am hollow
but when I rebuild again,
somewhere, sometime soon,
I’ll be back for you.
People come
and people go
and the less you say,
the more you know
of what’s good for you
and the lesser of the two.
Because its
bad enough I have to restart
but to beg like this
is the worst part.
I ask you again
which you choose.
Be it broken or bruised.
Be it slightly over used.
You run me down
on this high horse that you reign.
And leave me broken
so that I can feel the pain.
When I am humble,
I am hollow,
but when I rebuild again.
I am humble,
I am hollow
but when I rebuild…
Be it broken or bruised.
Be it slightly over you.
I’ll be the things
nobody wants to see in…you.
Cause I’m so tired
and I’m still shaking.
I’m shaking.
You run me down
on this high horse that you reign.
And leave me broken
so that I can feel the pain.
When I am humble,
I am hollow,
but when I rebuild again.
I am humble,
I am hollow
but I’ll rebuild again.
I am humble,
I’m hollow
but I’ll rebuild again.
And somewhere,
sometime soon…
I’ll be back for you.
