I could use a little bite of help to lighten up this room
A girl has dragged me down and so I ran to my hometown
When did I go and miss the turn; someday she's got to give
And not leave me alone waiting by the phone

So I'll try and say goodbye cause I'll be gone longer this time
I know you wont stop me; oh god why wont you stop me

'Cause I've been hanging on to your every word explain it, explain it
Why I'm jumping to the chorus of the saddest song to sing it
And you're singing it back; please please please give a damn
And stand next to me; care if I breathe
Cause I've been in hell without you now

I believe in everything you once told me to be
How I'm not ready for you yet but one day you'll let me in
But if I am what you want then why'd you let me go?
You could have made up such a sweet excuse
Or gave me so much attitude I know so well

It's never been like me to bit off my own tongue
But since sincerity won't do the trick I guess I'll fucking quit

Cause I've been hanging on to your every word explain it, explain it
Why I'm jumping to the chorus of the saddest song to sing it
And you're singing it back; please please please give a damn
And stand next to me; care if I breathe

Cause I've been hanging on to your every word explain it, explain it
Why I'm jumping to the chorus of the saddest song to sing it
please please please give a damn
And stand next to me; care if I breathe
Cause I've been hanging on to your every word explain it, explain it
Why I'm jumping to the chorus of the saddest song to sing it
And you're singing it back; please please please give a damn
And stand next to me; care if I breathe
Cause I've been in hell without you
