You got your head in the water, and you’re slowly goin’ under
There’s nobody there to pull your hand
Yeah, it’s soundin’ kinda like me
No, it don’t surprise me
Trust me, I can understand
Out of breath and so upset, your heart is beating from your chest
And everything is only going wrong
Temporary, oh, it’s scary, though
The static from the stereo is loud, but it won’t last long

Life don’t shine like it used to
But keep on holdin’ on, I don’t wanna lose you
Things seem so bad, I know that
But everything will work out in the end
I’ve been dying too, I'm torn and bruised, done all I can do
Searching for solace in my solitude with letters to you

Put on the mask and hope nobody notices
Try to fall asleep and hopefully escape the hopelessness
Buried in my chest, miserable at best
Fed up with the never-ending dread, I'm such a mess
I'm fadin’ away, another day in the gray
‘Til I waste in the grave, I’ll find a way to complain
I’ve said it all before, and I don’t mean to be so boring
Open up the blinds and stay inside, the rain is pouring

Life don’t shine like it used to
But keep on holdin’ on, I don’t wanna lose you
Things seem so bad, I know that
But everything will work out in the end
I’ve been dying too, I'm torn and bruised, done all I can do
Searching for solace in my solitude with letters to you

Life don’t shine like it used to, and I don’t wanna stay awake
Things seem so bad, but right now, I’ll try to make it through the day
I'm running on empty, the dark is so tempting
Pacing around, I'm feeling lost in my head
I'm stuck in a nightmare, the demons don’t fight fair
Bringin’ me down, but I’ll go on ‘til the end

Life don’t shine like it used to
But keep on holdin’ on, I don’t wanna lose you
Things seem so bad, I know that
But everything will work out in the end
I’ve been dying too, I'm torn and bruised, done all I can do
Searching for solace in my solitude with letters to you

(I'm dying lately)
