lyrics

It’s 4 in the morning
chasing sleep again
my heart was broken
now I’m on the mend
or so I thought

All of this room now
makes me feel so strange
more than I’m used to
but that all will change
or so I thought

Hold me down
til the shakes are gone
take my pulse
wonder what I’m on
hold my hand
tell me all is well

You know I’m addicted
when I miss the pain
Feeling so hollow
just this husk remains
blown in the wind

Now you can trace me
like lines in my arm
heart on a keychain
like some lucky charm
blown in the wind

Play this hand again
I know I can win
All my chips are in
now this game can end
