Down

Is this really what it all
Comes down to?
You and me hurt-in'
When we talk and write too.
You ran away
When I was tryin' to 
Help you.
Then hung up
When I tried to get through to you.

Do you know how that makes me feel?
This just can't be real.
Seri-ous-ly, what's the deal?
I'm having a hearrrrt attack.
Should I want you back?

Things are spinnin' outta control.
I don't even know what
"normal is"
Or how I'd even 
Recognise it.
I don't buy this.
It just don't fit.

I feel like I am drown-in'.
It's all a blurr
And movin' in slow-mo-tion.
I'm second-guessing
The devotion
We'd professed before now.
Is this what makes us throw down?

Is this really what it all
Comes down to??

I'm feeling down.
I want to drown
And let ever-thin'
Just wash over me.
I can't decide
Who to listen to.
I wish it was you.
But I'm afraid of who
You're list'nin' to.

Is this really what it all
Comes down to??
He said, she said
Breaking us in two.
There used to be "us"
Now it seems like
There's just "you".
I'm already gone.
It just all feels wrong.
I'm feeling down.

Is this really what it all
Comes down to??

Vulnerable

The silence between us is deafening.
It screams at me to redefine
Everything I thought I knew about you.
I don't even recognise you
Anymore.

You were the one that would never hurt me
Who I could count on when the world stood against me.
You were the one I let inside my heart.

I made a home for you in my life
And have tried to make you stay.
But this new you destroys my hope
And makes me ashamed to have loved you
So hopelessly
And completely.

You broke free from me
Shattered my heart as you fled
And I'm too weak to mend
The broken pieces
And too tired to fight again.

The scary thing is
I would still let you back in
To my life
Because it's all that I know.
Because losing your heart
And losing your mind
Makes your raveged body
Vulnerable.

If we give up now...

If we give up now
What was the point
In fighting all this time
To stay together?
If we give up now
Then forever
Isn't as long
As I'd thought it'd be.

I don't want to give up
I think there is
Too much love
To fight for!
But with all the pain
We cause each other
Why kid ourselves
By wanting more?

I don't know
What to do.
I don't know
What to choose.
I just know
That to loose
All the fun
And the love
Would be
Such a waste.

Co-dependent

You don't wanna talk.
I don't wanna walk
Away. But, Dar-r-ling,
It's time to
Keep it real.

I know now
All our problems
Were out of my hands.
I shouldn't have to
Earn your attention.

All the worthlessnes
I felt
Wasn't founded
On the truth.
They were
Just lies
Told to make me
More (more)
Dependent on you.

Sure (sure)
I brought (brought)
My own baggage
To this relationship.
Sure (sure)
I thought (thought)
You were
The Best thing
in it.

But it's not healthy
To smile or cry
Based on your whim.
So I'm cutting
The strings
To my addict-tion
For you.
And will try
To not be so
Co-dependent.

Da da da da da...

Co-dependent.

This doesn mean
I don't want you around.
I'm trying to see
What solution
Can be found.
The lies and pain
Swimming inside
My head
Have been drowning me
And making me
Breathless
And light headed.

But I've been getting help
Just these few quick
Breaths of air
Are keeping me alive.
I'm getting back
On my feet.
I'm hoping to keep
Treading water
And learn how to
Survive and thrive.

It would be
Unfair
To point fingers
And claim
There's only you
To blame.
But it is
A shame
That I am so
Addicted.

I need your love.
I'm weak without
You near
And I am
Drowning again.
But I should't
Die
Without you
By my side.

Apparently
It's not
Normal to be
So dependent.

I am learning
it's not healthy
To smile or cry
Based on your whim.
So I'm cutting
The strings
To my addict-tion
For you.
And will try
To not be so
Co-dependent.

Da da da da da...

Co-dependent.

Apparently
It's not
Normal to be
So (so)
Dependent.

I know you
Want me to be
Happy and
Healthy.
And truly
Wouldn't it
Be a relief to
See me
Do things
On my own
Without you
Having to
Tell me that I can.

Apparently
It's not
Normal to be
So (so)
Dependent.

it's not healthy
To smile or cry
Based on your whim.
So I'm cutting
The strings
To my addict-tion
For you.
And will try
To not be so (so)
Co-dependent.

Da da da da da...

Co-dependent...

My Acetaminophen!

Everything is
crashing all around me.
The only thing
I can count on is my uncertanty.
Even though our whole
Relationship's a lie,
I'm not ready for goodbyyyye.

You (you) keep (keep)
Making me miserable,
Treat (treat) me (me)
Like I cause nothing
But trouble.
Pe- (peeps) ople say
I should kick you
To the curb.
But the thought is just
Absurrrrrrrrd!

I'm ready to fight!
I feel the light
At the end of the tunnel's
Just around the bend.
Please don't give up!
Show me I'm worth it
To stick around and
Make it all better again.
I can't help but cry.
The pain makes me
Wanna die
And ne-ever-r wake up again.
But I need you
To kiss the pain away
Because
you are
My Acetaminophen!

My Acetaminophen!

I'm just waiting
For relief
To kick in

My Acetaminophen!

Don't make me
Say it again.
*sigh*

Everything you claim
Makes me break more.
These grand extremes
You suggest
Cause an uproar.
Why are you about
To walk out the door?
Can't we just
Try to get better?

Leaving me here
While you go
"fix yourself"
May be for the best
But I don't
Believe it yet.
I'm still in shock.
I just can't talk
To you right now!

But I can't bare to be apart...

I'm ready to fight!
I feel the light
At the end of the tunnel's
Just around the bend.
Please don't give up!
Show me I'm worth it
To stick around and
Make it all better again.
I can't help but cry.
The pain makes me
Wanna die
And ne-ever-r wake up again.
But I need you
To kiss the pain away
Because ('cause)
you are (are)
My Acetaminophen!

My Acetaminophen!

I'm just waiting
For relief
To kick in

My Acetaminophen!

Don't make me
Say it again.
*sigh*
