I don't wanna lose this one before it is too late   Things just have a way of slipping through my fingers   When the strongest of convictions sort of gets bent out of shape   When the gnawing claw of doubt still lingers      You don't lose, don't lose   No pieces will you lose   After all you've done for me   It's the least I can do for you   You don't lose, don't lose   No pieces will you ever lose   After all you've done for me      As lonely as the final leaf swept from the barren tree   And the drugs, they don't go deep enough to set you free   And the fan blades reflect halo effects when I look up and see you   When the words won't frame the room you're in, pictures will have to do      To live inside these ruins where you move without a sound   Oh, to live inside these moments and die outside your town   Oh, to break forth into sonnets   Oh Lord, keep me coming back   The stories that you tell your head to keep your heart intact
