Lyrics
1
When I?m out my depth
And I lose my head
Left all those thoughts unsaid
Looking back on all those words undone
When I just gave up
Or couldn?t give enough
Couldn?t find the love
Couldn?t think or feel or need or breathe or be
Chorus
Go for the money, dead head
Looking back on the things that I have done
2
When they fed my soul
And I just stayed cold
Told myself I couldn?t be told
Held myself when I thought I couldn?t be held
Now I?m on my own
I wonder if I?ve grown
Wonder if I?ll know
When I reach the place I long so hard to be
Chorus
