Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take this bloody war of mine away
I'm at a loss for words to say
Will they greet me at dawn?
Take these muddy thoughts
That are my walls
I'm not ready for the call
That will greet me at dawn
[Verse 2]
I just take what someone wants
Race when I'm in front
Break what I don't need
It's nice to watch somebody breathe
Oh, on me now
I am tired of my own
[Verse 3]
Yeah, now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
And I thank you very much
I am flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me
[Verse 4]
'Cause I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Wasting time like it just
Doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company
[Verse 5]
Won't you breathe on me, now?
I am tired of my own
[Verse 6]
Race me to the horror
At the end
I've lost myself again
In the mirror of my past
Let me
Let me scratch at my own skin
I'm dying to get in
To the mirror of my past
[Verse 7]
I just take what someone wants
Race when I'm in front
Break what I don't need
It's nice to watch somebody breathe
Oh, on me now
I am tired of my own
[Verse 8]
Yeah, now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
And I thank you very much
I am flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me
[Verse 9]
And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Wasting time like it just
Doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company
[Verse 10]
Won't you breathe on me?
I am tired of my own
Yeah, won't you breathe on me?
I am tired of my own
[Verse 11]
Yeah, now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
And I thank you very much
I am flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me
[Verse 12]
And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Wasting time like it just
Doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company
[Verse 13]
And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Wasting time like it just
Doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company
[Verse 14]
Won't you breathe on me, now?
I am tired of my own
And won't you breathe on me, now?
I am tired of my own
