It would happen, when I needed a break
It would go down, if I made a mistake
It’d be fine, at the end of the day
It’d be mine, if I wasn’t OK
Get it started, when the weekend was young
Couldn’t fight it, when it’s all said and done
Need a minute, before I fill up my cup
If I missed it, now I’ve got to catch up
But was it all that I need then, if I want to let go?
No, I will throw it away
Oh damn, it started again
Will the façade ever end?
I said that I would give it up, cause it just drags me down
I know that it isn’t easy
Why did I let this get me?
Once again I have no answer, I’m weak
I’ve seen this happen all before
Just make this go away
And let the clock tick by, at 2:30
Take a second, cause it wasn’t enough
If I’m not well, it’ll toughen me up
It’s my last one, but I’ve said this before
When I’m all done, why not just one more
You said that you’d stop doing this
But here you are
It’s not too late for redemption
But it might leave a scar
But was it all that I need then, if I want to let go?
No, I will throw it away
Oh damn, it started again
Will the façade ever end?
I said that I would give it up, cause it just drags me down
I know that it isn’t easy
Why did I let this get me?
Once again I have no answer, I’m weak
I’ve seen this happen all before
Just make this go away
And let the clock tick by, at 2:30
Leaves falling from the trees
Watching it all fall in a moment or so
The roots are all dying, and the scars start to show
A tiny old branch is hanging just by a thread
Can time save the leaves?
Or will it kill them instead, are they better off dead?
