This Suffering

Song byBilly Talent

in AlbumBilly Talent II

Like a target drawn across my chest

She's a bullet in Russian Roulette

You said you'd never turn your back on me

(Rescue me, rescue me)

Would you stand by me and bury me?

(Bury me)

Why don't we end this lie,

I can't pretend this time

I need a friend to find, my broken mind,

Before it falls to pieces

Every time you try to leave me blind

You'll never close my eyes

You'll never close my eyes and watch me die

And when she spins the bottle round and round

Every time it leaves me kept and bound

You said you'd never turn your back on me

(Rescue me, rescue me)

Would you stand by me and bury me?

(Bury me)

Why don't we end this lie

I can't pretend this time

I need a friend to find, my broken mind,

Before it falls to pieces

End this lie, I can't pretend this time

I need a friend to find, my broken mind,

Before it falls to pieces

Every time you try to leave me blind

You'll never close my eyes

You'll never close my eyes and watch me die

Misery won't get the best of me

Cause now I'm calling, yes I'm calling on your bluff

Misery won't get the best of me

Cause now I'm calling, yes I'm calling on your bluff

Throw down the cards, I've had enough

Why don't we end this lie

I can't pretend this time

I need a friend to find, my broken mind,

Before it falls to pieces

Every time you try to leave me blind

You'll never close my eyes

You'll never close my eyes and watch me die

End this lie, I cant pretend this time

I need a friend to find, my broken mind,

Before it falls to pieces

Every time you try to leave me blind

You'll never close my eyes

You'll never close my eyes and watch me die
