You tried but you lost
and your ship sank just as fast as
it took for the ink to dry.

Well now your hope had failed,
you were relying on that medicine
but the pills that couldn't stand
the silence becomes the gasp for air
that you've been waiting for for so long

she just had to leave
couldn't wait to go to sleep
she couldn't dream
she couldn't breathe
won't we take it back home
she had to leave

she plays her rich cards well
but each line beneath her eyes has got a story to tell
now she's loading up
tunes her pulse to her song saying
"when the song's done, you'll all be dead wrong"
and the silence becomes the gasp for air
she's been waiting for for so long.

she just had to leave
couldn't wait to go to sleep
she couldn't dream
she couldn't breathe
won't we take it back home
she had to leave

she just had to leave
couldn't wait to go to sleep
she couldn't dream
she couldn't breathe
won't we take it back home
she had to leave.
