Can someone take me apart and put me back together so I don't hurt?
Strip me of this ugliness and sorrow so I can feel again
Make me beautiful and stop the ***** looks from shooting my way
Bring me hope and innocence again
No more signs, no more lines, just a solid breakthrough
Something to hang onto

Breathing easy and taking names
Memorizing my dreams and playing them out
Forgetting all the hurts and lies
Forgetting all the broken forget-me-nots and promise
Burying the well that was dug and dried up from your constant thirst
I did all I could for you and you drank me dry

You took my freedom and made me sacrifice it all
Am I still breathing?
Am I repeating myself? Am I really just a broken record to you?
How important is your time with me?

I feel stiffened and toxic
As your green eyes penetrate me like I am nothing but a sheet
A ****** sheet that should be tossed out a window
A sheet you would hang yourself with
But only because you still live with your regrets
You still live in your rush hour nine to five days
Did I ever mean anything to you?
