In my arms you lie   You're sleeping and you're still   I'm wide awake because I can't take it   And this is how I feel      Set my mind at ease   I'm worried and upset   Well, my front door isn't on anymore   I'll be living with regret      So listen up   And just let the music play   If you listen hard enough   You can hear me say      This is the sound of desperation   This is the sound of me wearing thin   This is the sound of desperation   This is the sound of me wearing thin      You've heard it all before   Now, you'll hear it all again   I never said, I would rather be dead   But I thought about the end      Soon as it's starting over and over   The nights keep blending in   The only way I can get through the day   Is to try to make amends      So listen up   And just let the music play   If you listen hard enough   You can hear me say      This is the sound of desperation   This is the sound of me wearing thin   This is the sound of desperation   This is the sound of me wearing thin   This is the sound      So listen up   And just let the music play   If you listen hard enough   You can hear me say      This is the sound of desperation   This is the sound of me wearing thin   This is the sound of desperation   This is the sound of me wearing thin      This is the sound of desperation   This is the sound of me wearing thin
