Wear Me Down

Say something clever, if you're conscious still
'Cause you know hearing bad news
Gives me such a special thrill

I'm not here to save you
Watch your back or rearrange you
I don't know, even so
I wouldn't take on this, oh, no

And I don't know how, you can wear me down
In the blink of an eye
If I could just hold my ground
For a tenth of the time

Make me an offer I can really use
A one time factory clearance that I can't refuse
I'm not here to save you
Watch your back or rearrange you

And nothing ever changes
You're still cynical and dangerous
I don't know, even so
I wouldn't take on you, oh, no

And I don't know how you can wear me down
In the blink of an eye
If I could just hold my ground
Even half of the time

You never get the point, so what's the use?
I'd never take that tone of voice with you
We both know that that's not really true

No one's going to save you
'Cause they can't rearrange you
And nothing ever changes
You're cynical and dangerous

So now you just wear me down
In the blink of an eye
If I could just hold my ground
For a tenth of the time

So go ahead, wear me down
I'm lost, not found
You got me so tied and bound
I'm not quite sound

You're wearing me down
Quit wearing me down
