Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath
The undertow creeps in slow
Everyone owns a gun deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide
Help me, help you
They won't be there
Help me, help you
They won't see
It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
And it hurts when you can't see
And it hurts
Drop the switch, scratch the itch, watch it glow
inch by inch, the cutting board
Watch it swing to and fro
Everyone carries one deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide
And it hurts when you're lonely
And I'm standing right beside you there
And it hurts when you told me
That you'll try this on your own
Hope you never hurt, hope you never cry
Hope you never lose your way tonight
Hope you never crumble, hope you never fall
Hope you never throw away it
Drop the ball, watch it fall below far below
Suck you in, hold your breath, watch it swing
