lyrics

Lost my heart and hope to die
I'd jump the edge, but I won't lie
Those eyes, they get me every time
But, you expect me to hold you high
Higher than I hold myself
Which I admit I could use some help
The life we live just gets too heavy sometimes

And I'm so sick, I don't fit in
Because no one cares and everyone swears
I'm wasting my time, wasting my life
Cause' no one cares, oh no one cares

Say what you will,
Cut me down just for the thrill
And I'm dropping all your calls,
Oh I'll never take the fall
Guess you'll never see,
Every tree grows from a seed
You only point out all my flaws
I'm an oak and you're a saw

Can somebody out there wake me up
Been stuck in a coma for so long
Don't let me sleep this life away
I'm starting to feel like I'm already gone
Can anybody hear me?
Or is this just a dream?
Its crazy, but I'll say it anyway
I'm living inside a cage

And I'm so sick, I don't fit in
Because no one cares and everyone swears
I'm wasting my time, wasting my life
Cause' no one cares, oh no one cares

Say what you will,
Cut me down just for the thrill
And I'm dropping all your calls,
Oh I'll never take the fall
Guess you'll never see,
Every tree grows from a seed
You only point out all my flaws
I'm an oak and you're a saw

I'll do anything to get away
Look out my window
The sky it looks so gray

Say what you will,
Cut me down just for the thrill
And I'm dropping all your calls,
Oh I'll never take the fall
Guess you'll never see,
Every tree grows from a seed
You only point out all my flaws
I'm an oak and you're a saw

You only point out all my flaws
I'm an oak and you're a saw
