Dawn delivers new day
But the nightmare still remains
If everything is new then
Why do i feel the same old pains

And where laughter once would echo
The silence is shattered by anguished cries
The tears are flooding my lungs
Every hopeful smile withers and dies

The pain flowing through my heart
Is heavy and sears into my chest

I can no longer tell what's normal
My entire world now seems possessed

It hurts too much
Even your touch
Couldn't take this pain away
I feel so sick
I only wish
Things would somehow be ok

Well I've had my fill
Of these bitter pills
And I can't sit still anymore
In this waiting room
Knowing that my doom
Lies like a tomb just beyond that door

It hurts too much
Even your touch
Couldn't take this pain away
I feel so sick
I only wish
Things would somehow be ok

the light of each new morning
saps the life out of my soul
I can't take more of this charade
As you live out the life you stole

But you blame me for your sorrow
Whisper my name like a curse
Seems like it should be better tomorrow
Cuz it can't get any worse

I'd love to solve all your problems
But I'm just not qualified
You say you can't help it
But you're at the bottom of mine

It hurts too much
Even your touch
Couldn't take this pain away
I feel so sick
I only wish
Things would somehow be ok

Well I've had my fill
Of these bitter pills
And I can't sit still anymore
In this waiting room
Knowing that my doom
Lies like a tomb just beyond that door

It hurts too much
Even your touch
Couldn't take this pain away
I feel so sick
I only wish
Things would somehow be ok

Well sometimes I feel like
This just can't be real life
How did things devolve into this

Nothing to hope for
I've lost count of the score
Must be something out there that I missed

So I can keep brushing this aside
It can't be real if I bury it deep inside
I'd talk it out but breathing makes me nauseous
It's so hard to smile when there's poison in your kiss

Well I've had my fill
Of these bitter pills
And I can't sit still anymore
In this waiting room
Knowing that my doom
Lies like a tomb just beyond that door
