Darling I'm tired

I need to sleep,

I need to dream

I need a moment

To wipe my head clean

I need to stop

The run of my brain

I need a break

From your ball and your chain


And I know I'm done

With your pathetic lies

Your constant cry for attention

From those pretty black eyes


You need to think

You need to think for a moment

I need to breathe,

I need breathe some control in

Cause you can't come back no more

You're on the ground floor

Six feet deep

And I'm locking the door

No you can't come back no more

You can't come back for more


You need to try

A little self-loving

You need to do

A lot less bluffing

You need to fix

Your crappy behavior

But you won't fix

Your rebellious teenager


And I'm done

With your endless excuses

Your cry for love

And display of your bruises


Your too unhealthy for me

I gotta let you be


You need to think

You need to think for a moment

I need to breathe,

I need breathe some control in

Cause you can't come back no more

You're on the ground floor

Six feet deep

And I'm looking the door

No you can't come back no more

You can't come back for more

I need a break...
