When I reach out in the night
And you're there with me
I wish I was more alive
Like you need me to be
I'm caught in a slow death
But I don't want to drag you down
Sometimes I reach out for you
And my hand gets cold
And all I catch is the breeze
And it's so hard to hold
It's cold like a slow death
Living without you around
You were never nice to me
But I pretended that you were
And I don't really care to see
Who it is that you'd prefer
'Cause you don't know who I am
And I don't care what you do
You're afraid of what you want
And I don't want to be afraid with you
You were just a dream my friend
That was never coming true
I hope I never see again
The part of me that needed you
It's caught in such a slow death
But I don't let that drag me down
No I don't let that drag me down
I don't let that drag me down
