Speak to me

Tell me something

Tell me a reason

 worth fighting for

Give me anything

Anything to keep

me breathing

Verse 2

Lie to me

Tell me stories

I care anymore

I care any-more

Verse 1

Its so simple

I make up excuses just to

touch you and I can't stop

I can't stop

So are we playing for keeps

 These days begin and they don't end for weeks

Excuse me while I fall apart
