Verse Lyrics
============
When I feel to far away from where I want to be 
Theres nothing left for me, yeah
When I feel too close to breathe, like a baby cutting teeth
In you I find relief, yeah

'Cause when it's more than I can take, I pushed and pulled to break
A sucker for a saint in your eyes
Critisism comes in waves, numbering our days
But only you can save me

Chorus
~~~~~~
F          C           G                   D
Is anybody even there, who doesn't just pretend to care?
F                   C             G*
This time I need to know, are you there?
F             C                G           D
Does any body think they can begin to even understand?
F                   C             
This time I need to know, are you there?

"G*" Riff for Chorus

Verse 2
~~~~~~~
Hang on, Hang on, I know, I know
It's the lie that we believe, the truth that we concieve
That lies inside of me
When I leave it all behind, something hypnotized
The moment that it's mine...

[Repeat Chorus]
