Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Help, i have done it, again
I, have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's
No one else to blame

Be my friend hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me, i am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me

Ouch, i have lost myself again
Lost, myself and i am nowhere to be found
Yeah i think that i might break
Lost myself again and, i feel unsafe
Be my friend hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me, i am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me

Be my friend hold me, wrap me up




Unfold me, i am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
