"So pour the years down the drain"

"Cause I don't think you can save me"

"We're fading away so just pull the knife from.."

So lets take it down a notch

Cause I don't think that duct tape can fix this one

And I guess I've fallen victim to myself once again

I don't understand, there's blood on my hands

But how did I get in this hospital bed?

The doctor walked in and said "Nathan, you're sick.."

Can the world get more evil than this?

(More evil than this?)

And we couldn't wait

We picked out a name

We cleaned up our acts

Even got our own place

And moved up back north

But par for the course..

I wrote the book on falling short

(The book on falling short)

So pour the years down the drain

Cause I don't think you can save me

We're fading away

So just pull the knife from my chest

As they whisper the words

They say that I'm sick but I think I'm just cursed

And I let you down in the worst way

Doctor, tell me

We'll wake up and it's all just a bad dream

I still fall asleep with the porch light on

And I'm sure this town fucking hates me

But I don't have the nerve to just turn it off

Cause I'm afraid that I'll stop remembering

The sound of your heartbeat.. Such a little thing..

I'd trade every fast car and diamond ring

Just to see those eyes staring back at me

I swear I'd give everything

Just for the chance to meet

So pour the years down the drain

Cause I don't think you can save me

We're fading away

So just pull the knife from my chest

As they whisper the words

They say that I'm sick but I think I'm just cursed

And I let you down in the worst way

Doctor, tell me..

We'll wake up and it's all just a bad dream

I'd tear out my heart

I'd rip out my lungs

I'd burn down the whole world

To protect my own blood

I just wasn't enough (wasn't enough)

I'll leave you with the words

Some things aren't meant to be

I've tried to hang on but I've just grown too weak

I can't understand how I ever let you down so..

So pour the years down the drain

I don't think you can save me

We're fading away

So pour the years down the drain

Cause I don't think you can save me

We're fading away

And I know there's no fixing myself so let me fade away…

(Fade away)

Down the drain (right down the drain)

Can you save me? (Can you save me?)

Down the drain (down the drain)

Fade away (fade away)

Can you save me? (Can you save me?)

Doctor, tell me..

We'll wake up and it's all just a bad dream
