lyrics

Time has collapsed
And the world just caved in
At least I know something is
Happening right now
And I’m not sure I can see a point to this
phenomena we call existence

Pain is a strange thing
It seems like you gotta feel it to live
Waiting on the Vicodin to kick in
Waiting on the sleeping pills to kick in
Love I’m sorry I forgot to say goodbye
I’ll see you in another time

And when I awoke, I was alone
(couldn’t remember my name)
Lying face down on the floor
I could feel it in my blood
I could feel it in my bones
(tremendous pain)
Oh why did you have to go?
(woah woah woah I do not know)
Oh why did you have to go?
(I don’t know, I don’t wanna know how you could
how you could up and go)
Oh why did you have to go?

I’ve been carrying this weight oh lord
How all my loving wasn’t good enough
I want you to know, I want you to feel my pain
‘cause my heart’s a breaking
And I know you don’t feel a —

But oh, my Lord, this board
is more than I afford
I can’t take any of these insults
or putdowns anymore
Woah woah woah
I do not know
(Oh why did you have to go?)

I’ve been carrying this weight oh lord
How all my loving wasn’t good enough
I want you to know, I want you to feel my pain
‘cause my heart’s a breaking
And I know you don’t feel a —
