slip the noose

The Maine

Breakdown hysteric and young
Uncomfortably numb
Then you sent my pain into oblivion
I was on the verge of breaking down
Then you came around
And not a second too late

Well give two fingers to the person that I used to be
You shook the noose, slipped my head loose and now that boy is history
And you see that I knew better, yeah I knew better
Than to refuse your hand you rescued me from myself

Oh, just slip the noose
Untie the rope from my wrists
I was about to let go
'Til I knew you existed

Breakdown hysteric and young
Uncomfortably numb
Then you sent my pain into oblivion
I was on the verge of breaking down
Then you came around
And not a second too late

Well loneliness is hell and you're alone but I can tell you
That it's everything you need because it brought you right to me
And now you see that I knew better, yeah I knew better
Than to refuse your hand you rescued me from myself

Oh, just slip the noose
Untie the rope from my wrists
I was about to let go
'Til I knew you existed

Breakdown hysteric and young
Uncomfortably numb
Then you sent my pain into oblivion
I was on the verge of breaking down
Then you came around
And not a second too late

Oh, just slip the noose
Untie the rope from my wrists

So breakdown hysteric and young
Uncomfortably numb
Then you sent my pain into oblivion
I was on the verge of breaking down
(Oh, just slip the noose, untie the rope from my wrists)
I was on the verge of breaking down
(I was about to let go 'til I knew you existed)

I was on the verge of breaking down
Then you came around
And not a second too late
