Lyrics

[Verse 1]
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
[Verse 2]
Take my life
Time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognize
People I care for
[Verse 3]
Take my dreams
Childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze
Please just be there for me
[Verse 4]
The things that I know
Nobody told me
The seeds that are sown
They still control me
[Verse 5]
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is I cannot seem to get my eyes open
[Verse 6]
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
[Verse 7]
Take my hand
Lead me to some peaceful land
That I cannot find
Inside my head
[Verse 8]
Wake me with love
It's all I need
But in all this time
Still no one said
[Verse 9]
If I had not asked
Would you have told me?
If you call this love
Why don't you hold me?
[Verse 10]
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is I cannot seem to get my eyes open
[Verse 11]
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
[Verse 12]
Give me something I can hold
Give me something to believe in
I am frightened for my soul, please, please
Make love to me, send love through me
Heal me with your crime
The only one who ever knew me
We've wasted so much time, so much time
So much time
[Verse 13]
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
