Lithium- don’t want to lock me up inside
lithium- don’t want to forget how it feels without
lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow
oh but God I want to let it go

come to bed, don’t make me sleep alone
couldn’t hide the emptiness you let it show
never wanted it to be so cold
just didn’t drink enough to say you love me

I can’t hold on to me
wonder what’s wrong with me

Lithium- don’t want to lock me up inside
lithium- don’t want to forget how it feels without
lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow

Don’t want to let it lay me down this time
drown my will to fly
here in the darkness I know myself
can’t break free until I let it go
let me go

Darling, I forgive you after all
anything is better than to be alone
and in the end I guess I had to fall
always find my place among the ashes

I can’t hold on to me
wonder what’s wrong with me

Lithium- don’t want to lock me up inside
lithium- don’t want to forget how it feels without
lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow
oh but God I want to let it go

Please, please forgive me
But I won’t be home again
Maybe someday you’ll look up
And barely concious you’ll say to no one
Isn’t something missing

You won’t cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn’t someone missing me?

Even though I’m the sacrifice
You won’t try for me, not now
Though I’d die to know you loved me
I’m all alone
Isn’t someone missing me?

Please, please forgive me
But I won’t be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
Isn’t something missing

Even though I’m the sacrifice
You won’t try for me, not now
Though I’d die to know you loved me
I’m all alone
Isn’t someone missing me?

Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that

Never was and never will be
Have you no shame don’t you see me
You know you’ve got everybody fooled

Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you’re pretending
But now I know she

Never was and never will be
You don’t know how you’ve betrayed me
And somehow you’ve got everybody fooled

Without the mask where will you hide
Can’t find yourself lost in your lie

I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don’t love you anymore

It never was and never will be
You’re not real and you can’t save me
Somehow now you’re everybody’s fool

Don’t cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

Should I let you fall?
Lose it all?
So maybe you can remember yourself.
Can’t keep believing,
We’re only deceiving ourselves .
And I’m sick of the lie,
And you’re too late.

Don’t cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

Couldn’t take the blame.
Sick with shame.
Must be exhausting to lose your own game.
Selfishly hated,
No wonder you’re jaded.
You can’t play the victim this time,
And you’re too late.

Don’t cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

You never call me when you’re sober.
You only want it cause it’s over,
It’s over.

How could I have burned paradise?
How could I – you were never mine.

So don’t cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
Don’t lie to me,
Just get your things.
I’ve made up your mind.
