Watershed - Can't Be By Myself lyrics

rate me

Slam the door and grab the phone<br />

like a pistol against my head.<br />

ask your machine where are you<br />

damn it never knows.<br />

did i just leave a message or a suicide note?<br />

try to suck the words back down my throat<br />

and i don't know how long i can hold out<br />

hold on, hold on<br />

<br />

when i see ya girl i wanna change, <br />

my clothes, my eyes, my hair, my face,<br />

gotta get away, so i can be myself<br />

myself<br />

<br />

now youre staring in the mirror<br />

trying to see what i see.<br />

till you don't even recongnize yourself<br />

darting empty bottles and broken glass<br />

all tangled up in you, you<br />

but everyone's got someone they can't have<br />

i got you<br />

<br />

when i see ya girl i wanna change<br />

my clothes, my eyes, my hair, my face<br />

i'll be anything, but i can't be myself, myself<br />

<br />

i dont know how long i can hold out<br />

i don't know how long i can hold out<br />

<br />

tonight this phone feels like a pistol,<br />

black and cold against my temple<br />

did i leave a message or a suicide note<br />

(i don't know how long i can hold out)<br />

suck the words back down my throat<br />

(i don't know how long i can hold out)<br />

gotta suck the words back down my throat<br />

<br />

when i see ya girl i wanna change,<br />

my clothes, my eyes, my hair, my face<br />

and every word that gets away is going off like a cherry bomb<br />

<br />

like a shmuck outta luck<br />

full of sand in the clover<br />

im bendin im breakin <br />

i'm shaking all over<br />

i'll be anything, but i cant be myself, myself, myself<br />

<br />

got me slipping and sliding and tossing and turning<br />

and coming and creaming<br />

and crashing and burning<br />

i'll be anything, but i can't be myself, myself<br />

myself
