lyrics

(Devi)
If everything fits into place,
Seamlessly pieced together in the most terrible way

I couldn't keep it together
I couldn't make it last
I couldn't prove I was good,
I wonder if anybody could.
I can't keep it together
Nothing is meant to last for that long
But it doesn't make me feel better
To put it in a stupid song

I wonder if life is all about just falling apart
And painfully becoming something else?

(Rook)
Breaking down inside every day
Another day of hoping for something
That I can't say
Love confusion hopelessness pain
Just falling
Through a thousand different lives
Of the same thing

(Rook+Devi)
I'm a person inside a person inside a girl
(Rook)
I used to be
(Rook+Devi)
A million different things
A million different dreams and hopes
(Rook)
But now I'm nothing
Splintered, fighting for control
(Rook+Devi)
Inside a shattered soul
(Rook)
Staring blankly
Frightened and all alone
(Rook+Devi)
Still moving forward
(Rook)
Broken down from everything
(Rook+Devi)
Did I do the right thing?
(Rook)
I wish I had the strength to be
(Rook+Devi)
Everything to everybody
(Rook)
I don't know what I need to be
Hopeless dreaming
Please take care of me
I know there's no more place for me
These ruined lives inside me scream

(Devi)
I couldn't keep it together
I couldn't make it last
I couldn't keep it together
But it's not that bad.
