[Verse 1]
In my arms you lie
You're sleeping and you're still
I'm wide awake because I can't take it
And this is how I feel
Set my mind at ease
I'm worried and upset
When my front door isn't home anymore
I'll be living with regret

[Pre-Chorus]
So listen up and just let the music play
If you listen hard enough, you can hear me say

[Chorus]
This is the sound of desperation
This is the sound of me wearing thin
This is the sound of desperation (desperation)
This is the sound of me wearing thin

[Verse 2]
You've heard it all before
Now you'll hear it all again
I never said I would rather be dead
But I have thought about the end
So this is starting over and over
The nights keep blending in
The only way I can get through the day
Is to try to make amends
[Pre-Chorus]
So listen up and just let the music play
If you listen hard enough, you can hear me say (hear me say)

[Chorus]
This is the sound of desperation
This is the sound of me wearing thin
This is the sound of desperation (desperation)
This is the sound of me wearing thin

[Bridge]
Wearing thin, wearing thin
This is the sound
So listen up and just let the music play
If you listen hard enough
You can hear me say

[Chorus]
This is the sound of desperation
This is the sound of me wearing thin
This is the sound of desperation (desperation)
This is the sound of me wearing thin (wearing thin)

[Outro]
This is the sound of desperation (over and over, over and over)
This is the sound of me wearing thin (over and over)
