Dear life, I'm leaving you
Cos I have no reason to stay
I'd write the words to use
Then hear my words explained away
Save me
I've tried to face the truth
But they just don't understand
There's nothing left to lose
When my life slips through my hands
Save me
The love that you gave me
Cos it's just an anchor
And the water
Is rising
Break me
Find reasons to hate me
While I've lost my fight
That's all I need
Faded behind a smile
No, you'll never see me cry
Maybe I'm in denial
But it's cos I'm scared
So save me
The love that you gave me
Cos I don't deserve it
You're only throwing it away
Break me
Find reasons to hate me
Cos I've always failed
At trying to please
But that's all I need
Chorus
See I've an aging face
And my mind is full with an ugly thought
I need a change
And you'd be better
With me gone
Cos there's a bitter taste
And my body's feeling weak when I'm strong
I need a change
And you'd be better, yeah
Yeah, you'd be better
With me gone
The black dog bites
He puts up quite a fight
He looks at me with those sad eyes
Dear life, I'm leaving you
Cos you have no reason to
Save me
I'm not who you made me
I don't wanna hurt you
And it kills me
That I'll have to
But what else can a man do
When all I need's a little empathy
To know that you'll be there
But I'll be dead before you ever see
How much this really means to me
Will I get there eventually
From never knowing where I belonged?
I thought I knew, but I was wrong
So save me
Chorus
Gone, gone
Yeah, you'd be better
With me gone
Used to be that I could see the future
Always on my mind
My only vision now's that I might lose ya
Lost and left behind
So I'm gone
From this life
One more push to help me fall on the knife
How can I tell you that I'm
Hearing voices
My only choice is
To leave it all to you
See I've an aging face
And my body's feeling weak
Chorus
(I need a change)
(And you'd be better)
Dear life, I'm leaving you
Cos I have no reason to stay
I'd write the words to use
Hear my words explained away
And you'd be better
So I'm gone

Empty words
What's that sound?
Breaks me down
But I don't mind
Cos what do I know?
And who am I
To deny you're right?
When I needed truth
And I found it there
With you
Chorus
What eyes can't see
You found in me
We were under the moon
When love came too soon
But I found it there
With you
Vacated
Love faded out
And it follows me
Everywhere that I go
But I don't know
Why
The feelings that I felt before
Have changed and so have I
How can I...
Hear your voice?
Empty words
What's the point
Me being heard?
Cos what do I know?
And who am I
When I gave up everything
For a lie?
A life I lived
For you
Chorus
Yeah, I found it there
With you
