 1st verse
Take  this bloody war  of mine away
 I'm lost  for words to say
 Will they greet  me at dawn
Take  these muddy thoughts  that are my walls
 I'm not ready  for the call
 That will greet  me at dawn
 I just take  what someone wants
Race  when I'm in front
 Break  what i don't need
 It's nice to watch  somebody bre - athe,  for me
 I am tired  of my own
 Well now come  sit next to me
 I'm not sleeping  with a bride to be
 Been wasting time  like it just doesn't matter very much
 So I'm happy  for the company
 And I sat  here for eternity
 No wife  and no family
 And I thank  you very much
 And I'm flattered by the touch
 When you say  that you're in love with me
 Won't you breathe  for me
 I am tired  of my own
 2nd verse
Race  me to the horror  at the end
 I've lost  myself again
 In the mirror  of my past
 3rd verse
Let  me, let me scratch  at my own skin
 I'm dying  to get in
 To the mirror  of my past
 I just take  what someone wants
Race  when I'm in front
 Break  what I don't need
 It's nice to watch  somebody bre - athe,  for me
 I am tired  of my own
 Well now come  sit next to me
 I'm not sleeping  with a bride to be
 Been wasting time  like it just doesn't matter very much
 So I'm happy  for the company
 And I sat  here for eternity
 No wife  and no family
 And I'll thank  you very much
 And I'm flattered by the touch
 When you say  that you're in love with me
 Won't you breathe  for me
 I am tired  of my own
 And won't you breathe  for me
 I am tired  of my own
 Well now come  sit next to me
 I'm not sleeping  with a bride to be
 Been wasting time  like it just doesn't matter very much
 So I'm happy  for the company
 And I sat  here for eternity
 No Wife  and no family
 And I'll thank  you very much
 And I'm flattered by the touch
 When you say  that you're in love with me
 And I sat  here for eternity
 No wife  and no family
 Been wasting time  like it just
 Doesn't matter very much
 So I'm happy  for the company
 Won't you breathe  for me
 I am tired  of my own
 And won't you breathe  for me
 I am tired  of my own
