Chasing Ghosts

[Verse 1]

I know you want to fix me, but I am damaged far beyond repair

I was broken when you met me

And entropy just carried on from there

I tried so hard to hide it

Tried to play it off as eccentricity

But I'm afraid that someday you will recognize the cold reality

[Chorus]

I'm damaged goods

I can't be saved

I'm damaged goods

To be thrown away

I'm damaged goods

Shattered inside

I'm damaged goods

So don’t even try to save me

[Verse 2]

I know you wanna save me

Like an orphan you've rescued off thе street

For years you've tried to shamе me into something I could never be

And every time I fail you, I could see the disappointment in your eyes

I know your frustration will turn into hatred once you've realized

[Chorus]

I'm damaged goods

I can't be saved

I'm damaged goods

To be thrown away

I'm damaged goods

Shattered inside

I'm damaged goods

So don’t even try to save me

Save me

Save me

Save me

[Bridge]

I know you wanna fix me

But I am fucked up far beyond repair

[Chorus]

I'm damaged goods

I can't be saved

I'm damaged goods

To be thrown away

I'm damaged goods

Shattered inside

I'm damaged goods

So don't even try to save me

[Verse 1]

I never truly believed that I deserved you

Why would someone like you love someone like me?

I felt this self-destructive need to test you

To justify my insecurities

[Pre-Chorus]

So I pushed and I pushed 'til you noticed me

Then I pushed and I pushed just to make you scream

Then I push and I push until I pushed you away

[Chorus]

All that I want is you to want me

What I need is you to need me

I swear I never meant to hurt you

All I wanted is you to want me

[Verse 2]

It's prеtty hard for you to show affection

But I need love as much as I need air

You hated my dеsperate pleas for validation

But why should I have to beg for signs you care?

[Pre-Chorus]

So I push and I push 'til you notice me

And I push and I push just to make you scream

Then I push and I push until I pushed you away

[Chorus]

All that I want is you to want me

All I need is you to need me

I swear I never meant to hurt you

All I wanted is you to want me

[Pre-Chorus]

So I pushed 'til you noticed me

Then I pushed just to make you scream

Then I pushed until I pushed you away

[Chorus]

All that I want is you to want me

All I need is you to need me

I swear I never meant to hurt you

All that I want is you to want me

All that I want is you to want me

All that I want is you to want me

[Verse 1]

I would die for you

An ocean I've cried for you

And there's nothing I wouldn't give

Just to say my last goodbye to you

I laid it all on the table

Now it's all on the floor

It's worth nothing

It's worth nothing

To you anymore

[Chorus]

I would beg

I would plead

I would crawl

On my hands and my knees

To try to restore

Your faith in me

I would crawl

On my hands and my knees

I would crawl

[Verse 2]

Just to be with you

Just to be with you

I would give up eternity

If I could only

Come home to you

But your garden is empty

All your flowers are dead

I tried to keep it growing

But there's no life left

[Chorus]

I would beg

I would plead

I would crawl

On my hands and my knees

To try to restore

Your faith in me

I would crawl

On my hands and my knees

You know I would beg

And you know I would plead

I would crawl

Through Hell on my knees

Just to be with you

4 ContributorsWhen I’m Dead LyricsI know the tears you're crying in your bed at night alone

I've cried those tears a thousand times

But those shallow empty songs about suicide are patronizing

You've got to learn to face your fears

Or do you think I'll be less lonely when I'm dead

It can't silence all the voices in my head

I close my eyes but I can't make it go away

Do you think I'll be less lonely

God I pray that I'm not lonely

When I'm dead

When I'm dead

When I'm dead

When I'm dead I won't feel any pain

And when I'm dead I won't feel anything

When I'm dead

When I'm dead

When I'm dead

When I'm dead

I know the songs you're singing, saying nothing loud and clear

I've heard that song a thousand times

But your shallow empty lies about suicide are patronizing

You can never understand what I feel

Or do you think I'll be less lonely when I'm dead

It can't silence all the voices in my head

I close my eyes but I can't make it go away

Do you think I'll be less lonely

God I pray that I'm not lonely

When I'm dead

When I'm dead

When I'm dead

When I'm dead
