[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
Feed on me
You know I’m never far
Feed off me
Like a vulture on a deer hit by a car
I can only do so much
And of course it’s never enough
I don’t think that you see
Exactly what you’re doing to me
Don’t speak
Don't speak

[Chorus]
Give me a reason to turn and run
Give me a reason to burn this house down
Give me a reason
I wish you would
I wish you would
Wish you would
Give me a reason for disaster
And I’ll be happy ever after
Give me a reason
I wish you would
I wish you would
Wish you would

[Verse 2]
So you've tried your best
To get out of this mess
But that’s just a joke
You’ve never awoke
To the sound of a mother screaming at night
Don’t speak
Don't speak

[Chorus]
Give me a reason to turn and run
Give me a reason to burn this house down
Give me a reason
I wish you would
I wish you would
Wish you would
Give me a reason for disaster
And I’ll be happy ever after
Give me a reason
I wish you would
I wish you would
Wish you would

[Bridge]
I wish you would
Wish you would
Wish you would
Wish you would
Wish you would

[Chorus]
Give me a reason to turn and run
Give me a reason to burn this house down
Give me a reason
I wish you would
I wish you would
Wish you would
Give me a reason for disaster
And I’ll be happy ever after
Give me a reason to turn and run
I wish you would
I wish you would

Three Days Grace is a Canadian alternative rock band formed in 1997 and now based in Toronto. Consisting of lead vocalist Matt Walst, lead guitarist Barry Stock, drummer Neil Sanderson, and bassist Brad Walst, the band is best known for their metal-influenced, hard rock sound and clever songwriting.

TDG grew out of Groundswell, a five-member high-school band founded in 1992. With Adam Gontier as lead vocalist, Neil Sanderson as drummer, Brad Walst as bassist, Phil Crowe as lead guitarist, and Joe Grant as rhythm guitarist, Groundswell released one album, Wave of Popular Feeling in 1995. That same year, the band broke up, and it was not until 1997 that Adam Gontier, Neil Sanderson, and Brad Walst got together as “Three Days Grace”.

Working with local producer Gavin Brown, the trio re-worked a number of their past songs and compiled a demo album. After handing it to EMI Music Publishing Canada, TDG produced their smash single “I Hate Everything About You”, which would be released in 2003 alongside their eponymous debut album Three Days Grace through American label Jive Records.
