Its not so much the pain it's more the actual knife
Pretending that the picture is perfect I cut myself to sleep
I close my eyes for a second and meet a fragile soul
I scream to hide that I'm lonely, the echo calls my name

If I ever.. If I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see.. make me be
Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life. I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in
Take this life. I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/i/in+flames/take+this+life_20540313.html ]
The water drops just beg to hit me
Why now? Haven't rained for days
No time to play hide and seek
I call upon you to take me on
Break me down to pieces
Put me back, do it right this time
Struggling to fill this empty shell
Burn my efforts in the end it means nothing

If I ever.. If I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see.. make me be
Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life! I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in
Take this life! I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in

These thoughts burn a hole in my heart
These thoughts will keep me feeling
These thoughts burn a hole in my heart
These thoughts will keep me feeling

If I ever.. If I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see.. make me be
Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life! I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in
Take this life! I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in
