From the fire in your words
To the dagger in your eye
I just have to lay my body down

Go and lay my body down
I pretend to be asleep
But I know you hear me cry

I just have to lay my body down
Go and lay my body down


But if I
Really want a change
Then I must admit

That I'm the one to blame

If I could break away

Cut the cord
For worse or better
If I could turn the page

At last and say
Goodbye forever
But on the other side

Of yesterday
Beyond the heartache
What if all I am

Without the pain
Is empty hearted
I could break away


Is it true what people say
That it's darkest before dawn?

I just have to lay my body down
Go and lay my body down
Any hope we might have saved

Is too weak to let live on
I just have to lay my body down
Go and lay my body down


And if I
Really want a change

Then tonight I'm gonna need
All of my strength


If I could break away
Cut the cord
For worse or better

If I could turn the page
At last and say
Goodbye forever

But on the other side
Of yesterday
Beyond the heartache

What if all I am
Without the pain
Is empty hearted

I could break away

Oh, anything is better than this

I know
Anything is better


If I could break away
Cut the cord
For worse or better

If I could turn the page
At last and say
Goodbye forever

But on the other side
Of yesterday
Beyond the heartache

What if all I am
Without the pain
Is empty hearted


If I could break away
If I could turn the page

But on the other side
Of yesterday
Beyond the heartache
What if all I am
Without the pain

Is empty hearted
I could break away
