Everything just fell apart,
And I watched it all with dried up eyes, unattached.
Now life revolves around this mirror,
And I am helpless.
I can't escape...

But if I had the chance I'd change it all.
All this aging- I'm not handling it so well.
Still the truth remains that some day every one of us will die alone.
And it scares me.
So can you hold me... until I fall apart.

I guess it's funny-
How after so many miles I still haven't made contact with the outside.
Sure, you can press your body against mine,
But you can't reach behind these eyes.
We're not connecting.

But if I had the chance I'd change it all.
All this solitude- I'm not handling it so well.
Still the truth remains that some day every one of us will die alone.
And it scares me.
So can you hold me... until I fall apart.
