Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is this really mine to bear?
A weight imposed too late for me to care
You stare across the room impaired
Decided that you might've seen me there
But I was never really there
No I was never really there
[Chorus]
Wear me down
Wear me thin
Wear me out
Wear me in
Wear me down
Wear me thin
Wear me out
[Verse 2]
Disappointment's only bred
By expectations that go underfed
Running rampant through your head
I'll wait them out until they're finally dead
I'll wait them out until they're finally dead
[Chorus]
Wear me down
Wear me thin
Wear me out
Wear me in
Wear me down
Wear me thin
Wear me out
