"Aftertouch" lyrics

There are days we seem to speak in different tongues
If you're the air I breathe, then I'm the water in your lungs
I've tried to give you every reason not to stay
'Cause I know it's harder to watch and wait
As I fall away

I fall away
I fall away
I fall away

And every night, I learn the meaning of alone
I can hardly face your warm embrace
And so I brave the cold
We both know it hurts to swallow
All the words, the blood, the pills
So I clamber for a hand to hold
And still I fall away

I fall away
I fall away
I fall away

'Cause I've been sitting here in silence
'Til my wounds are stitched and sealed
And I've waited all my life, to feel
What you once made me feel
But when everything collapsed
There was no way to make you stay
It's all that I can do to catch the pieces
Until I fall away

Until I fall away

Test me
Dismember me
I'm begging for a way to be
Out of body
Out of mind
Let this poison make me ill
Push me to the brink until

I fall away the same
I never said I'd be there
If the rain
Became the only thing we see
And if we both can't say we're sorry
Can we ever meet halfway?
It's all that I can do to catch the pieces
Until I fall away

I fall away
