A little sleep, a little slumber
A little folding of the hands
Left you weak, left you hungry
When there's supply you still demand
You're beginning to drag the ones you love down
Will this phase ever end?
A thousand arms to hold you
But you won't reach for any hands
'Cause
I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear
See your mother here, her last painful year
I wish you only knew...
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for you
Maybe you should just fall
And leave the world and lose it all
And if that's what you need
To finally see
I'll be with you through it all
Bring on the pills, roll the dollar bill
Medicating will never heal
Relapse, rehab, repeat
Always thinking about the me, me, me
Self-destruct, spiral down
Until your want becomes your need
Please get up like I know you can
Or forever love the fall
'Cause
I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear
See your mother here, her last painful year
I wish you only knew...
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for you
Maybe you should just fall
And leave the world and lose it all
And if that's what you need
To finally see
I'll be with you through it all
I can't stand to see you down
Strung out, off the wagon, and unwound
But steady, steady
Oh God, Jenny, Jenny
I can't bear to hear the sound
Of your body, body hitting the ground
Oh, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for you
Maybe you should just fall
Leave the world and lose it all
If that's what you need
To finally see, she loved you through it all
I'll be with you through it all
