lyrics

Tell me
Why won't you suffocate?
Why do you hold on so?
Close your eyes and just let go
Let go

And after all of the trouble and
all of the pain
and all of the things you've
done
Why can't you
just disappear and let it all
fade away

Let me
find something for my own
Let me find something to hold
onto
I watched clarity slip away
I felt clarity slip away

And after all of the trouble
and all of the pain
and all of the things you've
done
Why don't you
disappear and let it all
fade away

Don't come back today
Why don't you disappear
Turn to dust my dear
Let the winds carry your dirty
face to the shore
Where you drown

Why is it you'd float upstream
Come back for me
Arm over arm
determination
Cause I've got to crack
you've got to let me know I'll
never make it
I'll never make it

After all of the trouble
and all of the pain
and all of the things you've
done
Why don't you fade away
After all of the trouble and all
of the pain
and all of the things you've
done
Why don't you stop your
breathing oh
After all of the trouble and all
of the pain
and all of the things that
you've done
Why don't you stop breathing

And let it fade away
and let it fade
