lyrics

Some days I sit and stare
Watching a world that's hardly there
I try to look away, but my eyes are glued
It all keeps coming back to you

Sometimes you hold the knife too close
Put faith in what you barely know
It seems so easy now just to fall apart
And give it all back to the dark

I thought, you thought we knew it
We got ourselves into this
Now I can't shake this feeling
It keeps adding up, keeps stacking up
I finally found a meaning
There doesn't need to be a reason
So just put the pieces where you need them to go

Gentle ain't hard enough
But anymore is just too much
I know you think you ruin everything you touch
So you abandon what you love

I thought, you thought we knew it
We got ourselves into this
Now I can't shake this feeling
It keeps adding up, keeps stacking up
I finally found a meaning
There doesn't need to be a reason
So just put the pieces where you need them to go
