All I wanted was to be brought to my knees   But I could not see the forest for the trees   All I saw inside the thing behind your face   Was a sickness and a chill I can/like an embrace      CHORUS   Read/Breathe more into me   I swear I know I'm bringing out the worst in you   You're throwing up your hands   And not believing I can even speak or even understand   Read more into me   I swear I know I don't know what I'm doing there   But I'm scratching the surface of these lies   I on your back   You on your way      And all I did not want was to be left behind   Or be punished for the workings of my mind   But all I saw inside the thing behind your face   Was a sickness and a chill and an embrace   (But all I saw when I extended both my arms   Was a stranger so seducing with her charms)      CHORUS      But we never seem to get the things we ask for   Till we stop demanding everything we know we just don't need   But I am sickened by the thought of losing everything   And all because I failed to fully realize my greed      CHORUS
