Lyrics

I can tell on the surface that you
Keep me around for the purpose of the ride
If you only knew the reason that I
Stuck it through all the seasons on the side
Because I care about the person that you
Used to be before I hurt you and you cried

I breathe easier when you're not around
I gave up all my time and I still haven't found
A way to lift me up before I sink and drown
The weight is heavy on my feet when I hit the ground

So I stand here with the devil and I
Make a deal to keep it level in my mind
I sign with the paper with the knowing that I
Will be here even when the spirit's gone and died
And still I listen to the people and the
All the words they tell me even though I lie

I breathe easier when you're not around
I gave up all my time and I still haven't found
A way to lift me up before I sink and drown
The weight is heavy on my feet when I hit the ground
I breathe easier when you're not around
I gave up all my time and I still haven't found
A way to lift me up before I sink and drown
The weight is heavy on my feet when I hit the ground
