Tearing Me Apart lyrics

i`ve seen it all before - time and time again
as close as i would ever dare to be
and yet without a doubt - i will disagree
the sudden truth is no surprise to me

i know there is no easy way
i`ve said it from the start
sometimes you`ve got to live the life
and feel the pain
i hear a beat inside my head
i feel it in my heart
but just the thought of it is driving me insane
it`s tearing me apart

i hear a distant voice - very far away
i`m silent now - i don`t know what to say
i`ve felt a strong desire
to set myself on fire
i don`t think that would work for me today
