A little sleep, a little slumber A little fold of the hands Left you weak, left you hungry When there's supply you still demand You're beginning to drag the ones you love down Will this phase ever end? A thousand arms to hold you But you won't reach for any hands I don't feel like I'm getting through to you Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear See your mother here, her last painful year I wish you only knew... She stuck around for you Maybe you should just fall Leave the word and lose it all And if that's what you need To finally see I'll be with you through it all Bring on the pills, roll that dollar bill Medicating will never heal Relapse, rehab, repeat Always thinking about the me, me, me Self-destruct, spiral down Until your want becomes your need Please get up like I know you can Or forever love the fall I don't feel like I'm getting through to you Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear See your mother here, her last painful year I wish you only knew... She stuck around for you
Maybe you should just fall Leave the world and lose it all And if that's what you need To finally see that she loved you through it all
I can't stand to see you down Strung out, off the wagon, and unwound Steady....steady...Oh God, Jenny I can't bear to hear the sound Of your body hitting the ground
