What's life? I'm a hollow shell That cannot talk to you at night Wish that I had you on tape I don't remember what it's like Hard times baby, I need help I don't think my stars align In bad times, I don't think I'll make it out When you raise your voice you're tearing out my spine I've got a heart half full, but I still I spill The same way I spill my red wine But in a moment you slip And put your lip upon my lip I won't sue you I'll be real with you Hard times baby I need you I don't speak aloud I only text Your friend said that would be alright I wade through phases I cannot express You hear me talk in complicated rhyme And so I just stay here planning my next step Wait home and pace rooms This is every night Is it the way you react? I place my hand upon your back I'll be real with you This is a crisis You choose not to see it I went away because away's what I needed This is not treason but sometimes it feels it Sometimes you lie and you lie for no reason I'd say you'd stay but can't honestly mean it I am in pain and I keep it a secret Hard times baby I need help... Hard times baby I need help... (I need help...) It's not the words that I lack It's how your eyes look like a cat's I can't get through to you
