"At Wit's End" lyrics - DREAM THEATER

[Instrumental intro]

Let me help you, how much longer until you realize?
You're getting worse
It's killing you inside
I can't break through
Feel you have to face this on your own
Want to be left alone

[Chorus:]
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
I know that it's tearing you apart
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
Come alive

You feel I'm asking too much of you but can't let go
Fear breeds the hate and your apathy, empty and hollow
You lost your face, there's no getting through
Why shut me out?
Frantic, disturbed, filled with misery, can't figure it out

[Interlude]

Sleepless, worse for wear, staring at the ceiling
Numb, sedated, intoxicated

[Pre-Chorus:]
Deafening, deafening
Shut it out, shut it out
Burning, burning
No way out, no way out

[Chorus:]
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
I know that it's tearing you apart
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
Come alive

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge:]
Asked me to listen
Can't go on and face another day
I lied, not admitting
What I lost is still in you
Something's missing
You see darkness in my eyes
Maculate, there is no cure
Playing over, stop pretending
Warped inside its never ending tide

[Outro:]
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
