I could use a little bite of help to lighten up this room A girl has dragged me down and so I ran to my hometown When did I go and miss the turn; someday she's got to give And not leave me alone waiting by the phone So I'll try and say goodbye cause I'll be gone longer this time I know you wont stop me; oh god why wont you stop me 'Cause I've been hanging on to your every word explain it, explain it Why I'm jumping to the chorus of the saddest song to sing it And you're singing it back; please please please give a damn And stand next to me; care if I breathe Cause I've been in hell without you now I believe in everything you once told me to be How I'm not ready for you yet but one day you'll let me in But if I am what you want then why'd you let me go? You could have made up such a sweet excuse Or gave me so much attitude I know so well It's never been like me to bit off my own tongue But since sincerity won't do the trick I guess I'll fucking quit Cause I've been hanging on to your every word explain it, explain it Why I'm jumping to the chorus of the saddest song to sing it And you're singing it back; please please please give a damn And stand next to me; care if I breathe Cause I've been hanging on to your every word explain it, explain it Why I'm jumping to the chorus of the saddest song to sing it please please please give a damn And stand next to me; care if I breathe Cause I've been hanging on to your every word explain it, explain it Why I'm jumping to the chorus of the saddest song to sing it And you're singing it back; please please please give a damn And stand next to me; care if I breathe Cause I've been in hell without you
