Am I alive or am I just a lie that you have conjured up in your mind 

Can I have your soul it's a simple yes or no 

I think we both know how this story goes 



I can save this one song for you I can promise you this 

It hurts me to breathe you've got me shaking at my knees 



Trying to make it on my own is proving harder than you will ever know 

So lock me up tie me down strip me of everything 

That I once had and everything that I have known 



So lock me up and tie me down and leave me here to die 

And as I decay throw my body in the flames and let me burn 



It's taken me so damn long to pick up the pieces and just move on 

I'm confident that I'm not losing sleep
