lyrics

Lyin' in bed
Feelin' like death

The room's gone red
Can't get this heat off my breath

Another mornin' alone
And that's just fine

Cause you went your way
And I went mine

What Gives
That's just what you take from
And I don't wanna live
In a world you can't escape from

What Gives
That's just what you take from
And I don't wanna live
In a world you can't escape from

Broke all the strings on my guitar
And now it won't play

Feels like a thousand miles from where you are
And it haunts my whole day

Coffee's gone cold
Got no food on my shelf

Wind is howling outside
And I'm holding myself

What Gives
That's just what you take from
And I don't wanna live
In a world you can't escape from

What Gives
That's just what you take from
And I don't wanna live
In a world you can't escape from

You can't escape from
You can't escape from
You can't escape from
You can't escape from
