To save me would be a simple way of thanking me   For one day of living   That life that we're supposed to know   A life that you would not let go   And you're still slipping      Come back to me   Come back to all of these   Boardwalk lights, stronger fights      To hold me, to see the way I feel   It's the last time that I'll let you hold me again   I'm breaking away   And I don't want to play your game   You've fallen in my own walk of shame   It's sinking... it's sinking away      Stay away   I want you but you're not what I can have   Taken away      To hold me, to see the way I feel   It's the last time that I'll let you hold me again   I'm breaking away   And I don't want to play your game   You've fallen in my own walk of shame   It's sinking... it's sinking away      You've got me on my knees   Is that what you want to hear? (Is that what you want to hear?)   You've got me, you've got me all wrong   I'll wrong her, I'm never too much for you to handle   We're dying again... I'm breaking away      And I don't want to play your game   You've fallen in my own walk of shame   You're sinking... sinking away, yeah   And I don't want to play your game   You've fallen in my own walk of shame   You're sinking... sinking away
