You're so high above
Let's just be honest (Honest)
I'd leave You with nothin'
Everything I love
I sabotage?it?
To save?you from sufferin'

You were my everything
My?deepest, wildest dream
I pushed You when You gave yourself to?me
Yourself?to?me

I'm sick, I'm?sick
Can You fix?me?
I'm sick, I'm sick
I wanna believe

I think I'm sick and empty
Like somethin's missin'
You're further away
Each breath that I take
I'm sick and dyin'
But You remind me
Of all that I had
Now I want it back

I'm sick, I'm sick
Can You fix me?
I'm sick, I'm sick
I wanna believe

Darkness in my eyes
I don't deny it (?ny it)
I burn every good thing
I dehumanize
'Cause how could I hide it? (Hide it)
You'll find out the hard way

I don't deserve Your tears
Or to be happy here
This ended when You gave Yourself to me
Yourself to me

I think I'm sick and empty
Like somethin's missin'
You're further away
Each breath that I take
I'm sick and dyin'
But You remind me
Of all that I had
Now I want it back

I'm sick, I'm sick
Can You fix me?
I'm sick, I'm sick
I wanna believe

What's wrong with me?
Why do I wreck everything?
Can I find my way back?
Will I never go, never go home?

I'm sick, I'm sick
Can You fix me?
I'm sick, I'm sick
I wanna believe

I think I'm sick and empty
Like somethin's missin'
You're further away
Each breath that I take
I'm sick and dyin'
But You remind me
Of all that I had
Now I want it back

I'm sick, I'm sick
Can You fix me? (Can You fix me?)
I'm sick, I'm sick
I wanna believe
I'm sick, I'm sick
Can You fix me? (Can You fix me?)
I'm sick, I'm sick
I wanna believe

Can You fix me?
I'm sick
I'm sick
Can You fix me?
I think I'm sick
I think I'm sick
