Feelings in reverse, now I hang on every word from you.
Too fast on the curve, now I'm straining every nerve,
Come through, come through.

You can only play the victim for just a short amount of time,
Your own wounds, you'll have to lick them 'til the ambulance arrives.

Given all I've heard, (given all I've heard)
Hang on every word,
Given all I've heard, (given all I've heard)
Hang on every...hang on every word,
I hang.

Hanging by a thread,
Walking here among the dead - pleased to meet you,
What's with my chemistry, my falseness that strangles me'
What am I crawling towards'

You can only play the hero 'til your mask begins to slip,
And the fist on your bravado starts to lose its sacred grip.

Given all I've heard, (given all I've heard)
Hang on every word,
Given all I've heard, (given all I've heard)
Hang on every...hang on every word,
I hang, I hang.

Wife ask the other day, "Where's your joy' Did it slip away'"
I could say nothing,
Even though I am a son, how quickly I've forgotten...but I'm yearning, I'm yearning.

You can only play the star 'til the real truth comes to light,
All those hungry tabloids got you in the check out line overnight.

Given all I've heard, (given all I've heard)
Hang on every word,
Given all I've heard, (given all I've heard)
Hang on every...hang on every word,
I hang, I hang, (on every word)
I hang, I hang, (hang on every word)
I hang, I hang, (given all I've heard)
I hang, I hang,
(fade)
