I thought I′d learned to deal with the suffering

But now you're gone, and it seeps through everything

And once again, my heart is filled with nothing

I felt my heartstrings break

Now all I feel is the weight of sorrow ′round my neck

It drags me down, down to my knees

Pulling me under and away from everything

This misery, it won't leave me be

Do I too have to be six feet deep to be free?

So it seems, I try to hold it together

But it just keeps failing at the seams

Done is done, it's too late to change

You left a hole that is permanent

It drags me down, down to my knees

Pulling me under and away from everything

Exit wound, puncturing flesh and bone

Tearing through heart and soul, you′re gone, and I′m left alone

Exit wound, the kind that never heals

A hole that never fills, a pain I never thought I'd feel

Why did it have to be this way?

Why couldn′t I do anything?

It drags me down, down to my knees

Pulling me under and away from everything

My final goodbye forever denied

All that's left is the memories and tears I′ve cried

Now I'm left to choke on the words I never spoke

They fill my throat, I′m left with no hope

Why couldn't I have been by your side?

I would have held your hand as you fought that final fight

Exit wound, puncturing flesh and bone

Tearing through heart and soul, you're gone, and I′m left alone

Exit wound, the kind that never heals

A hole that never fills, a pain I never thought I′d feel

Exit wound, the kind that never heals

Exit wound, a hole that never fills

Exit wound, a pain I never thought I'd feel

Exit wound
