Sometimes silence heals wounds better than empty words
Tell-tale lies spill from your lips even when you breathe
So what's the point in trying to fix myself?
When you're a constant reminder that I can't

I've been waiting for hours upon hours
And you're not here, you're a goner
Sucked in by your own powers
You're getting too headstrong

I've been turned inside out
So that you can see I've really got a heart
And so that you can watch as it beats for you
But the truth is it hasn't beaten in so long

I'm a little bit sick, a little bit out of my mind
I'm a little bit lost when you're not beside me
'Cause all sense of what's true has disappeared
Why does sugar taste sour?

Your eyes are a dream, but I haven't dreamed in so long
I've been beaten into the ground too many times
I'm so dosed up on what might be your love
That I'm not sure what's real and what's not

It feels like I'm never going to reach a conclusion
And I'm going to suffer through the hurt and contusions
The ones you leave on my heart and my body
When you're not careful enough with what you say

You're too quick, and your words are too sharp
Cutting through my heart with your serrated knife
Just so that you can prove you're inside
But who even needs to prove that?

I'm a little bit sick, a little bit out of my mind
I'm a little bit lost when you're not beside me
'Cause all sense of what's true has disappeared
Why does sugar taste sour?
