The Worst in Me

Is there nothin' left to keep myself awake? To keep the walls from caving in? When all they ever do is try to bend and break Is there forgiveness in the end? I need relief (A failure's comin' on) Just breathe in deep (It's takin' far too long) I had you in my grip, but you're starting to slip Bring out the worst in me And now it's come to end, I think I'm giving in You set my demons free It seems, no matter where I look, it's always gone With you, I know I'll never win And it's hard to say where it went so wrong And failed me in the end I need relief (A failure's comin' on) Just breathe in deep (It's takin' far too long) I need relief (This weakness carries on) Please be a dream (Or was it all along?) I had you in my grip, but you're starting to slip Bring out the worst in me And now it's come to end, I think I'm giving in You set my demons free It's better when you're with me, but that's better left unsaid It's better when I'm empty, but I still let you in It's better when you're with me, but that's better left unsaid It's better when I'm empty, but I still let you in I had you in my grip, but you're starting to slip Bring out the worst in me And now it's come to end, I think I'm giving in You set my demons free I had you in my grip, but you're starting to slip Bring out the worst in me Please, won't you stay for me? Don't ever let me be You set my demons free
