Run Me Over

Have patience with me
Go easy on me
Don't run me over
Again
Be good to me
Don't shut my eyes
so I can't see
You ran me over
You ran me over

I have no one
I have nothing
but then I'm used to walking
blinded by the light
I am no one, really
Disembodied from myself
Still just maybe I could heal myself
if I could steal the time

I'm bleeding, slowly
Losing breath so slowly
And as my heart dies in my chest
I know it's for the best

Have patience with me
Go easy on me
Don't run me over
Again
Be good to me
Don't shut my eyes
so I can't see
You ran me over
You ran me over

In the mirror
I'm a shadow
Contours and echoes
of a thing
I'm sure I used to be
We don't matter, do we?
Disembodied from ourselves
Still just maybe we'd defend ourselves
if we got help to fight

I'm bleeding, slowly
Losing breath so slowly
And as my heart dies in my chest
I know it's for the best

Have patience with me
Go easy on me
Don't run me over
Again
Be good to me
Don't shut my eyes
so I can't see
You ran me over
You ran me over

But it's not over
