Did You Ever Have A Touch To Lose

I swear I've done this before

Oh so familiar is the mess that I'm in

I once knew

Now memories escape and people meet their fate

This says the man walking out on his wife: "And now the whole world knows"

This says the kid with the rope around his neck: "And now they all will know"

And can't you see that there's still hope, and don't you drown in what the world has told you...

Now I know that I've been here before

It's the feel of defeat when it finally sinks in

I feel so desperate

The barrier is so thick

Can I get through to you?

"Will I learn from this second chance", says the man who was dropping his pants

"Do I really deserve to live", says that kid who was slitting his wrists

And can't you see that there's still hope, and don't you drown in what the world has told you...

I once saw

But now I am exhausted from this mess, from this mess
