lyrics

I'm so sick
Of how I always
It up.

I'm so sick
Of how cold it gets when I sleep alone.

This imprint in my bed won't go away
No matter how much I wash.
Wash it away.
Wash it away.
It won't go away.
I can't let it stay.
I couldn't make you stay.

Wash it away.
Wash it away.
Please put your arms around her
and don't you ever let her go
'Cause she slips.
She slips away.

I'm so sick
Of the stares I get.

Yes I'm fine please stop asking me.

My eyes have been
Darting back and forth
Much more frequently
then they probably should be.
And I'm losing track of days
In this ever gloomy haze.
Please don't look at me.
Please don't look at me.
Don't look at me that way.
Please don't look at me at all.
I've been feeling much less tall.
I'm slumped over,
Weighed down by all the burdens from the fall.
And all the phrases in my head
That give me a reason to get out of bed.
I just want to scream cause my hands are red.
Covered in the blood
From when she left
And my heart went to bed.

It never woke up.
I can't wake up.

Wash it away.
Wash it away.
Please put your arms around her
and don't you ever let her go
'Cause she slips.
She slipped away.
