Help these hands to heal these burns
Time stand still the world still turns
For you I'd die, I'd live a lie just let me come back home
I've travelled half this land hoped you'd understand

Burning embers cast shadows from their light
All I remember are those black December nights

You beat me (and) you tear me down
My life is spinning the wrong way round
My head's held high why do I still drown
Don't reach for me I'll die without a sound

I may be damaged, bit broken inside
My weaknesses I could never hide
If I could feel what you see when you touch me
The pain I feel it's so real when you cut in me

A sea of self-abuse, a torrid love affair
The marks you've left on me, will always be there
For you I've lied, I never cried I kept your secrets safe.
Lost my dignity through all my stupidity

Burning embers cast shadows from their light
All I remember are those black December nights

You beat me (and) you tear me down
My life is spinning the wrong way round
My head's held high why do I still drown
Don't reach for me I'll die without a sound

You beat me (and) you tear me down
My life is spinning the wrong way round
My head's held high why do I still drown
Don't reach for me I'll die without a sound

You beat me (and) you tear me down
My life is spinning the wrong way round
My head's held high why do I still drown
Don't reach for me I'll die without a sound
