hello world, it's me again
the hapless fool, the terrible friend
would you stand by me if you knew I'd fail?

in the picture of their perfect life
they would keep me out of frame
and if someone asked "who is that?"
"I don't know" became my name

(chorus)
TRY AS I MIGHT I'LL NEVER GET IT RIGHT
TRY AS I MIGHT I'LL NEVER GET IT RIGHT
TRY AS I MAY IT WILL END THE SAME
EVERY TIME, DOWN IN FLAMES
x2
(chorus extended)
I WANTED TO HELP AND THEY SMELLED BLOOD
TOOK ALL I HAD AND YET IT WASN'T ENOUGH
THE GULLIBLE FOOL HAS BEEN USED AGAIN
HOLLOWED OUT AND LEFT FOR DEAD
(coda)
nothing
nothing
nothing left to give

(verse)
you will give like you gave before
only this time you'll give a little more
(prechorus)
do as you're told as they do as they please
because good slaves live for others needs
(verse)
you're bled dry but still they squeeze
for one more drop on which they can feast

"Every lie you tell is another string you knot to yourself.
The more you tell, the more you think you have to hold you together.
But when the knots come undone, you too will come undone,
and all there will be left to remember you by are the lies you spun."

the silence does the talking
while the tension sets the tone
we lay in bed together
but we really sleep alone
we're in each others arms
reaching for the other's throat
desperate for one of us to speak
the words that need to be spoke
it's not "I love you,"
or "we'll make this work somehow,"
it's "I think we're finished,"
"and we should go our own ways now."
but now I can see, and now I know
that you stopped loving me long ago
and it wasn't loving you that saw me through
it was only the idea of loving you
it was too hard to hold on
it was too hard to pretend
that this was merely a lull
and not another sign of the end
I waited so long for you
but you never came
and now that I'm leaving
you say I pushed you away
from a habit to an addiction
it was easy to believe the fiction
that "we" could ever be "us"
and that us could ever last
