It didn't mean much until it had gone away
And it's gone forever now
And so the televisions on all day
And I try but still somehow its

Stuck beneath my nails
As we slowly chase our tails
Takes the wind out of our sails
We are way beyond the pale

I wasn't anything before you came
Have you seen what's left of me?
I hate your silence as it's all a game
Cause you take the best of me

Got stuck beneath my nails
As we slowly chase our tails
Takes the wind out of our sails
We are way beyond the pale

And all the while
I tried to smile
The words you said
Around my head
And everything's a waste of time
You make me cry, no reason why
I hate my heart out
Every single night
There's a muscle aching there now
Disturb the silence, yeah, but that's all right
Is it why you hate me so much

Stuck beneath my nails
As we slowly chase our tails
Takes the wind out of our sails
We are way beyond the pale
