Famous last words at the dinner table
Resurrect low feelings of past exchanges
Leaning forward to tell what to do, what you don't
Point the finger to say that you won't

You won't ever be free from the world that creates you
Creating's a drag, a nag that berates you
Your wounds self-inflicted, your head under clouds
You surrender when you should be screaming out loud

Oh I'd give a bit just to put my arms all around you now
Oh I'd give a bit just to live without you, I don't know how
Oh I'd give a bit just to let this go 'til my final bow
Oh I'd give a bit just to put my arms all around you now

Any young thing would be lucky to have me
I am good, I am fine, should be no hesitating
We tiptoe around it, expect something more
Shrug it off 'til we're dead on the floor

It's not fair to be this, but this is what I am
I'm a man, I'm alive, but I'm plagued by the fear
Let it fill up my head so it's hard to be here
Getting out is a joke, so I pour one more beer

Oh I'd give a bit just to put my arms all around you now
Oh I'd give a bit just to live without you, I don't know how
Oh I'd give a bit just to let this go 'til my final bow
Oh I'd give a bit just to put my arms all around you now

Daddy brings me lemon pie
I've known how I am gonna die
One hundred times already

Before my mind would not allow
I've often thought about it, how
The future feels unsteady

My memory cannot erase
The subtle stabs, the sour tastes
The torment I can't break free

So I'm careful with the road I'm on
And on and on, and on and on
I know I'll never break free
Could I be as bad as he?

Oh I'd give a bit just to put my arms all around you now
Oh I'd give a bit just to live without you, I don't know how
Oh I'd give a bit just to let this go 'til my final bow
Oh I'd give a bit just to put my arms all around you now
