Watch my life
Pass me by
In the rear view mirror 
Pictures frozen in time 
Are becoming clearer
I donâ??t wanna waste another day 
Stuck in the shadow of my mistakes

Yeah

Cause I want you And I feel you
Crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger like a burning
To find a place Iâ??ve never been
Now Iâ??m broken and Iâ??m fading
Iâ??m half the man I thought I would be
But you can have whatâ??s left of me

Iâ??ve been dying inside
Little by little
No where to go but going out of my mind 
In endless circles 
Running from myself until
You gave me a reason for standing still

And I want you and I feel you
Crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger like a burning
To find a place Iâ??ve never been
Now Iâ??m broken and Iâ??m fading
Iâ??m half the man I thought I would be
But you can have whatâ??s left of me

Falling faster 
Barely breathing
Give me something to believe in
Tell me itâ??s not all in my head

Take whatâ??s left of this man
Make me whole once a gain

Cause I want you and I feel you
Crawling underneath my skin
A hunger like a burning
To find a place Iâ??ve never been
Now Iâ??m broken and Iâ??m fading
Iâ??m half the man I thought I would be
You can have all thatâ??s left 
Yeah yeah yeah 
Whatâ??s left of me

Iâ??ve been dying inside you see
Iâ??m going outta my mind, outta my mind
Iâ??m just running in circles all the time
Will you take whatâ??s left,
Will you take whatâ??s left,
Will you take whatâ??s left 
Just running in circles in my mind
Will you take whatâ??s left
Will you take whatâ??s left
Will you take whatâ??s left
Take whatâ??s left of me
