lyrics

And with a subtle twist of the blade,
You take the pain away,
And for a while I'm whole again
Though it always ends the same

And with a sudden change of fate,
It's like a slap right to my face,
You've gone and shook my faith,
Yeah you always shake my faith

How long til I come to my senses?
Lettin' this slip passed my defenses
Think by now I'd learn my lesson
And recognize this misdirection

Or like when You tug with all you got but
You're just pullin' out the rug from
Underneath your feet and you tumble down

I try to go with what I know but
I only know what I've been taught so
I built this house of cards on broken ground

How long til I come to my senses?
Lettin' this slip passed my defenses
Think by now I'd learn my lesson
And recognize this misdirection

So tell me how long tell me how long? (How Long!)
I can't tell you how long can't tell you how long … [oh]
So tell me how long tell me how long (How Long!)
I can't tell you how long can't tell you how long … [oh]

Cause gettin' up is getting harder (Getting harder)
And staying asleep feels just the same (just the same, just the same)
And all my dreams they seem much farther (seem much farther)
And the nightmare's worst when I'm awake

How long til I come to my senses?
Lettin' this slip passed my defenses
Think by now I'd learn my lesson
And recognize this misdirection
