Take off my bra cause this body
Hasn’t been mine for a minute
Take of mascara that
I put on for you
To dance for you
In a dark room
I’d be a doll
Bend for you
Cheerleading practice
Got no manners
Always landed
Head first
Down and dirty
Too flirty
Fell in love
Feet first
And If I make it through
And If I make it through
Take off this bag 'cause its been to
heavy for a minute
This weight that I put on for you
I held for you
In a crowded room
I'd be a (UHH) undress for you!
Swimming practice
going backwards—
Do I sink or swim
Always trying
Not surviving
Do I learn to forgive?
And If I make it through
And if I make it through
And if I make it through
And If I make it through
And if I make it through
ahhhh
And If I make it through

If you need me call me
Cuz I just got to go
Bushing boundaries of places that I —
And I want to
pretend anymore
Ten feet under
Trying to catch my breath
Ten feet under
Trying to catch my breath
And if you need me call me
Cuz I just want to go
I’m tired of trying to pretend like I know
And if I let you in
Would you stay the night?
If I say the truth,
Am I begging somehow?
Ten feet under, choking on my breath…..
And I keep asking why I can’t get close?
It’s like there’s nothing to do
Say it and its easy I know the truth
Push back, further from me
A little more of what I thought I could handle
And I tried to make it right a couple of times
And If you call me need me
Cuz I just wanna go
And I’m tired of trying
To make you know
But we’re letting it all fall apart
Ten feet under
Trying to catch my breath
Ten feet under
Trying to catch my breath
And I’m just a little bit scared of myself
I'm just a little bit
I'm just a little bit (this is where MIIV starts to laugh)
Ten feet under
Ten feet under
Ten feet under
Ten!

Was I on your mind, or did I help you pass the time?
Now my stomach hurts
Was I on your mind, or did I help you pass the time?
Now my stomach hurts
Was I on your mind? Did I help you pass the time?
Now my stomach hurts, because I'm too high!
Too high
And I helped you, I helped you pass the time
I helped you, I helped you pass the time
I helped you, I helped you, I helped you I----
And even after, and even after all this time
And even after, and even after all this time
And even after, and even after all this time
yeah I've had enough, I-I-I've had enough I-'ve done it all
I've had enough, I-I-I-I''ve tried it all.
I've tried it all
(you've tried it all)
I've tried it all
(you've tried it all)
I've tried it all..... I've tried it all!
Was I on your mind or did I help you pass the time? And after all this time you still said?
Was I on your mind, or did I help you? Did I help you?
ooo o o o oh, ah ah ohhhh oh uh
I helped you pass the time
I helped you pass the time
Did I help you pass the time?
I helped you pass the time?
I helped you pass the time?
Did I help you pass the time?

Did I help you?
Did I help you?

And It was all water
Easy enough to blame
And it was all water
But I still felt the pain
And so I'm growing
Over under through
Will I ever
See the dark side
Of you?
Split me up
And down
I think I'm learning when you come around
I know it's over before it's begun
I'll show my face to the other one
Am I just a body in your hand?
And I am heavy, I demand...
Take care of me
And carefully
My heart only holds room for one other lover
My heart only holds room for one other
Tie me up
When I call
And worry seems to take me all
Tie me up
When I shout
I know why you don't come around
If I lie, is it better?
If it's fear, is it real?
When my stomach grips
I believe
And I am heavy, I demand
Take care of me
My heart only holds room for one other lover
My heart only holds room for one other
Cut into pieces
The divine
Declares that
You make time to
Make love to me
And to my mind
To not block me
When I'm too bright
but take care of me
carefully
Like porcelain...
My heart only holds room for one other lover
My heart only holds room for one lover
My heart....
We are heavy
We demand
We are heavy
We demand
We are heavy
We demand
