In my arms you lie
You're sleeping and you're still
I'm wide awake because I can't take it

And this is how I feel
Set my mind at ease
I'm worried and upset

My front door isn't open anymore
I'll be living with regret


So listen up
And just let music play
And if you listen hard enough

You could hear my say

This is the sound

Of desperation
This is the sound
Of me wearing thin


This is the sound
Of desperation (desperation)

This is the sound
Of me wearing thin


You heard it all before
Now you'll hear it all again
I never said I would rather be dead

But I thought about the end (thought about the end)
Soon as it's starting over and over
The night keeps blending in

The only way I can get through the day
Is try to make a mence


So listen up
And just let music play
And if you listen hard enough

You could hear my say

This is the sound

Of desperation
This is the sound
Of me wearing thin


This is the sound
Of desperation (desperation)

This is the sound
Of me wearing thin


(This the sound)

So listen up

And just let music play
And if you listen hard enough
You could hear my say


This is the sound
Of desperation

This is the sound
Of me wearing thin
