The words...

I'm tangled and broken

I'm scattered on the floor

Its useless now

These pieces they, can never make me whole

This is where it falls apart

This is where it falls apart

I feel helpless as my everything

Comes crashing down on me

This is where it falls apart

This is where it falls apart

I feel helpless as my ***ing world comes crashing

Down on me

You wither and you blister

I watch you burn and peel

Its not like you can save me

Its not like you even care

This is where it falls apart

This is where it falls apart

I feel helpless as my everything comes

Crashing down on me

This is where it falls apart

This is where it falls apart

I feel helpless as my ***ing world

Comes crashing down

Crashing down on me

Wasted

Useless

Pointless

Scattered

Broken

Thoughtless

Tangled

Shattered

Withered

Blistered

Tired

Pointless

Wasted

Useless

Scattered

C D E

I'm finding it so hard to hold on

C D E

I'm finding it so hard to hold on

C D E

I'm finding it so hard to hold on

C D

I'm finding it so hard to hold on

This is where it falls apart

This is where it falls apart

This is where it falls apart

(I'm finding

This is where it falls apart

it so hard to hold on)

This is where it falls apart

(I'm finding

This is where it falls apart

it so hard to hold on)

This is where it falls apart

(I'm finding

This is where it falls apart

it so hard to hold on)

This is where it falls apart again

Falls apart Again

Falls apart

(I have no clue what is said with that)

I'm finding it so hard...
