Lyrics
Yeah, it sucks
It's a paradox
It's not ironic, it's not funny or cute
Facing repercussions,
Psychological discussions
There's still plenty of time for suffering
Before the day is through
You need someone to depend on
You needed someone to depend on you
We got lost, we got crossed, we got tossed
We watched everything flush away
All along you heard the angels sing their song
But that shit just drives me insane
You need someone to depend on
You needed someone to depend on you
Little by little you tear yourself apart
You got your head held on by a string
It doesn't take a straw to break the camel's back
When you're cryin' over every little thing
You need someone to depend on
You needed someone to depend on you
Little by little we tear ourselves apart
I got my head held on by a string
It doesn't take a straw to break the camel's back
When you're cryin' over every little thing
We used to laugh, we used to stand a chance
We used to empathize with those in pain
Now the same lost souls hold your had
Reciprocating all the affection you gave
You needed someone to depend on
You needed someone to depend on you
