Simple words drift to my ears
(I needed to ask why.)
The old pain is still very near
(I can't forget but I try.)

I've tried to stop but I've fallen...
Held on for so long but I slipped...
I screamed for love
But it never did come.

I'm slipping down but I've fallen deep
Crashing in on myself.
Just pulling me down and pushing me deep
You've finally taken control.
The darkness washes into my head
I'm not able to breathe.

Something breaks inside of me
(My innocence just died.)
Haunting dreams or memories?
(I've given up with a cry.)

I've tried to stop but I've fallen...
Held on for so long but I slipped...
I screamed in shame
And it never did leave.

I'm slipping down but I've fallen deep
Crashing in on myself.
Just pulling me down and pushing me deep.
You've finally taken control.
The darkness washes into my head
I'm not able to breathe.

Lying on the floor...Can't take any more...
Bleeding from my core...I can't take any more!

I tried to stop but I'm falling deep.
Held on for so long but I'm slipping down.
Peace never has come
Only a wounded heart.
