Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering under my fingernails
Under my fingernails
I?m empty, lonely and accused, accused without a word
My fingernails are chipping down from clawing in the dirt
I?m so lost, lost and confused, I threw it all away
How can I be beautiful when I am so afraid
Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering under my fingernails
All my dreams out of reach under my fingernails
I watched it all slip through my hands, my brokenness revealed
I?m so proud, I?m so proud I?m crying to be filled
I?m killing, destroying the plague, that?s killing me away
I?ve got to live, I?ve got to love like I am unafraid
Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering under my fingernails
Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering under my fingernails
All my dreams out of reach under my fingernails
I?m wasting, wasting every moment
I want to be tasting, tasting every moment with you
I?m suffering, I?m bleeding, on my knees, who?s going to save me?
Suffering, bleeding, save me from this pit of frailty
Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering under my fingernails
Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering under my fingernails
All my dreams out of reach under my fingernails
Never reaching me
