I don't wanna wake up to a morning like this
no one else can make me feel this sick
you are the knife in me
the knife in me

and now when I leave you, it's forever
and now when I leave you, I will not return

I want to sleep
no matter how hard you try to wake me up

you won this time and you still want to get even
with broken nails you cut my skin
you are the flood around me
and I breathe you in

and now when I leave you, there is complete silence
and when I leave you there will be no regret

I want to sleep
no matter how hard you try to wake me up

even the most helpless of my friends
and angels weep because they know
that now when I leave you, it's forever
and now when I leave you, I will not return
and now when I sleep, there is complete silence
and when I leave you there will be no regret

    Song Meaning

    This song is about a relationship that is so badly broken down between two people that is beyond repair. This person is like a knife in the other person cause their mere presence is painful anymore.
