you're gonna take me apart
with every little thing you think you know
from pieces, to pieces
the lonely leaves are the last to fall

i don't know why, where, or what exactly i didn't do
i've had to take a tougher way
maybe not today

tomorrow tells me
i've got no place to go
so i won't pretend to know
what it is inside that makes me stand beside you
when they open fire

you're gonna take me apart
tap into a small, but noble cause
where nobody's listening
unless you look like something santa bought

i don't know why, where, or what exactly i didn't do
i've had to take a tougher way
maybe not today

tomorrow tells me
i've got no place to go
so i won't pretend to know
what it is inside that makes me stand beside you
when they open fire

will we ever seek forever?
the more we think the less we know

you're gonna take me apart
with every little thing you think you know
from pieces, to pieces
the lonely leaves are the last to fall

i don't know why, where, or what exactly i didn't do
i've had to take a tougher way
maybe not today

tomorrow tells me
i've got no place to go
so i won't pretend to know
what it is inside that makes me stand beside you
when they open fire

they can't be far away
you're gonna take me apart?
