Pull 03:13
A sudden break from the forward momentum Shattering minds skin and bones And not to even mention, Breaking all these hearts and stones Grabbing empty space Where all these secrets lay Pull me into you Then push me so far away Pull, pull, pull, pull me closer Pretend I'm your only lover Take me to the edge Push me over the ledge Pull, pull, pull, pull me nearer Make me think I'm seeing clearer Take me to the edge Push me over the ledge Your diamond shackles I gladly wear Around my heart, my hands, and my head I think you must really care But come to find out you're just scared You pull me to where I feel safe Pull me, I'm a heartbeat away Then rip it from my chest Leave me in pain Pull, pull... How can you give me all these things to believe in Knowing you're not ready to give in or to win How can you pull me in so close and not want to keep it How can you stay so remote if you really feel it Pull, pull....

She stopped me dead in my tracks And attacked my emotions Pierced my heart With her darts Pulled me into her ocean I went down, down, down Til I drowned, I drowned Does she know, does she know, does she know, does she know How she killed me? Does she know, does she know Does she know, How she thrilled me, she thrilled me Then she killed me She made me think I could trust Was it lust that undid me? She made me show her my soul Then she stole me completely I went down, down, down Until I drowned, I drowned Does she know... I went down, down, down Until I drowned, I drowned How do I come back to life With my heart still in her vice And does she even know that I.... Really died cause I was denied Does she know...

You know, you came on like white on rice and You made think were all sugar and spice and You said everything I wanted to hear and You made me think that I had nothing to fear So I gave you everything You took my heart, and gave me nothing Did you get what you wanted Did you get what you wanted I see that you're off and runnin' So I guess you got what you wanted You know you play me like a violin In this game that I could never win I'm not as cool you I not as I seem I'm holding in my silent screams I'm shaking and breaking everywhere I'm losing it all but you don't care Did you get what you wanted.... You took my body And my soul You took senses And my control Then threw in my face How easily will I be replaced Did you get what you wanted...

I feel the weight of the world on my chest It's hard to breathe I can't get any rest I'm dying, dying over you I'm in a state of complete shut down It's getting harder & harder to come back around I'm dying, dying over you Give me life Breathe into me Heal my body I'm dying over you Give me life Come back to me Please have mercy I'm dying over you My blood keeps spilling, and I'm feeling week The world keeps spinning, I'm falling from the peak Time and space don't mean nothing, anymore I can't replace the life I've lost on your distance shore I'm dying, dying over you Give me life...

I found a picture of you baby You're rockin' steady I stare at you like I'm crazy Cause I'm burning baby Every second of everyday No matter what you do or you don't say I wish I could prove I'm still thinking about you Time doesn't matter Words don't count and hearts won't heal The line has been shattered No one can change the way I feel If you could see me now You'd figure out It's not the way it seems Time doesn't matter Only you can heal me Life seemed to be so ordinary Dark and dreary You came to me now I see clearly It's not temporary Everything has changed And we can never take that away But I wouldn't want to I'm still thinking about you (without you) Time doesn't matter... Search your soul Tell me how you could bury me Call it self-control You know what you do to me Denying the pain and the power Won't change the truth I know what I do to you Cause I still feel it too Yes I do Time doesn't matter...

Your picture's on the screen I can almost hear you scream You're done with talking to me If you had no doubt I can't figure out Why you don't want me baby Was the writing on the wall When I let my whole heart fall Now I'm the one living all alone Don't you know I can't go back What did you do to me I'm not who I used to be I can't go back anymore To the way I was before What did you do to me How'd you change my legacy You struck to the core Left me wanting more What did you do to me Your voice is in my ear But you're not really here You're lost and so damn angry Shaking cause you're scared The words left you too bare And I truly sorry I'm not the only one to blame You wanted in this in this game But I'm the one who's living all alone I'm not like you I can't go back to it What did you do to me... I don't change like the wind I would be your longtime friend But you cut me to quick I'm stuck under a ton of bricks That used be my wall What did you do to me...
