I should have seen those signs all around me,
But I was comfortable inside these wounds;
So go ahead and take another piece of me now
While we all bow down to You;

You tear me down and then You pick me up,
You take it all and still it’s not enough,
You try to tell me You can heal me,
But I’m still bleeding and You’ll be
The death of me!

How can You end my affliction
If You’re the sickness and I’m the cure?
Too long I’ve faked this addiction,
Another sacrifice to make us pure;

You tear me down and then You pick me up,
You take it all and still it’s not enough,
You try to tell me You can heal me,
But I’m still bleeding and You’ll be
The death of me!

You tear me down and then You pick me up,
You take it all and still it’s not enough,
You try to tell me You can heal me,
But I’m still bleeding and You’ll be
The death of me!

I won’t forget;
I cannot forget this;
I won’t forget;
I’ll never forget this;
I won’t forget;
I cannot forget this;
I won’t forget;
I’ll never forget this;

I won’t forget!
I cannot forget this!
I won’t forget!
I’ll never forget!

You know I can never prove this solution;
You aren’t the one that I thought you were;
And so I learn to embrace this illusion,
The line that separates- it starts to blur;

You tear me down and then You pick me up,
You take it all and say it’s not enough,
You try to tell me You can heal me,
But I’m still bleeding and You’ll be
The death of me!

And you’ll be the death of me!

I will not forget!
I cannot forget this!
And You’ll be the death of me!
