How much of myself can I give away
'Til there's nothing left to take from me?
Feels like I'm losing things I can't replace
It's an emptiness that makes me weak
'Cause I built you up
You just break me down
When I'm alone
I can hear the sound
I just can't stand the way you said my name
I can hear you saying
"Joe, Joe, Joe
Don't you ever leave"
I can hear you saying
"Joe, Joe, Joe
'Cause you're nothing without me"
Cause this is not a ship that could pass in the night
It's a wreck and I'm drowning, been here all my life
I was 18 and screaming and feeling it all
Now I'm up on the edge of a bridge and I know
If I let you down
Would you let me in?
'Cause when I'm alone
I can hear you now
I just can't stand the way you said my name
I can hear you saying
"Joe, Joe, Joe
Don't you ever leave"
I can hear you saying
"Joe, Joe, Joe
'Cause you're nothing without me"
Yeah, you were always saying
"Joe, Joe, Joe
Don't you ever leave"
I can still hear you saying
"Joe, Joe, Joe
'Cause you're nothing without me
'Cause you were always nothing without me
You're nothing without me"
I don't know what it takes to be happy
I think I'm petrified of dying
But living's just too hard, to walk it off, I've tried
Look in the mirror, see me crying
But every time I do, I hear you say my name
I can hear you saying
"Joe, Joe, Joe
Don't you ever leave"
Yeah you were always saying
"Joe, Joe, Joe
'Cause you're nothing without me"
I can hear you say it (I still hear you saying)
"Joe, Joe, Joe
Don't you ever leave"
Yeah, you were always saying (I still hear you saying)
"Joe, Joe, Joe
'Cause you're nothing without me
Yeah, you're nothing without"
