lyrics

Listening to their aching has left you numb
Thats when you took it upon yourself

Time passes like water running
Since you've tipped over borderline

Soon enough
All you see comes undone

You blocked out the sky
To leave them all blind

You do it

You just can't help yourself
Its you and no-one else

Eyes notice when any truth is bent enough,
You won't stand by you'll talk

You can be the barely loved and never mind

You can guide the elephant around the room

A sinking feeling creeps in over time

It's itching enough to change your mind

You go away biting your lip sometimes

But you'll do it again,
Do it again,
One more time

You just can't help yourself
Its you and no-one else

On and on it hits you today

You can have them all crippled and begging from you

No more

Then a chance for another

You'll do it till the end,
Do it with a sigh

This boat is sinking
This boat is sinking

But you're still hanging on

You're still going down

Trying to look away

But you can't help yourself
