  • I try to know when to leave
    She sits in the bedroom and grieves
    There's a sequence that starts all again
    She can't get up anymore with the pain

    The combination of these drugs
    Has left her hopeless and lost
    She wants to count the ways
    But she can't count again

    [Chorus]
    I will be right here
    Till all the pain
    Just disappears
    I will always stay
    Till all this light
    Just kills the day

    I strangle my words
    Once, I tried a thousand times
    Slaughtered like Gods
    When the silver shines so hard

    I tried to poison my life
    Always dreaming on the edge of the knife
    She always looked backwards
    And I can sit here for even ten minutes or more

    [Chorus]

    Oh hold on
    Oh hold on
    Oh hold on
    Just try again, again

    [Chorus]

    Oh hold on
    Oh hold on
    Oh hold on
    Just try again Writer/s: Richard Melville Hall
