You come to me, ask me for that money again
You say that you need it, to ease that nagging feeling inside your brain
You know I love you like a brother
That's why I'm holding out on you
I'll give most anything I can
To see that you pull through
You gotta keep fighting for your life
Don't you ever give in
It's such a sensless suicide
Letting the needle win
Life is precious too us all, you got to cling to that thread
It's no use you thinking you won't be found in some back alley dead
You're telling me you can't stop, no you can't change
You're caught up in that web, instead of running
It's time to face up to those forgotten feelings inside your head
You gotta keep fighting for your life
Don't you ever give in
It's such a sensless suicide
Letting the needle win
Oh, my friend you're so fragile
You blow like a leaf in the wind
It's time to ask yourself why
You're hiding away, you're locking the door
Don't let no one else in (don't you let nobody in )
You come to me, ask me for that money again
You say that you need it, to ease that nagging feeling inside your brain
You know I love you like a brother
That's why I'm holding out on you, woa
I'll give most anything I can
To see that you pull through
You gotta keep fighting for your life
Don't you ever give in
It's such a sensless suicide
Letting the needle win
Oh, you gotta keep fighting for your life
Don't you ever give in
It's such a sensless suicide
Letting the needle win
Don't let the needle win
Don't let the needle win
No don't you ever give in
Don't let the needle win
You say that you need it, to ease that nagging feeling inside your brain
You know I love you like a brother
That's why I'm holding out on you
I'll give most anything I can
To see that you pull through
You gotta keep fighting for your life
Don't you ever give in
It's such a sensless suicide
Letting the needle win
Life is precious too us all, you got to cling to that thread
It's no use you thinking you won't be found in some back alley dead
You're telling me you can't stop, no you can't change
You're caught up in that web, instead of running
It's time to face up to those forgotten feelings inside your head
You gotta keep fighting for your life
Don't you ever give in
It's such a sensless suicide
Letting the needle win
Oh, my friend you're so fragile
You blow like a leaf in the wind
It's time to ask yourself why
You're hiding away, you're locking the door

Letting the needle win
Oh, you gotta keep fighting for your life
Don't you ever give in
It's such a sensless suicide
Letting the needle win
Don't let the needle win
Don't let the needle win
No don't you ever give in
Don't let the needle win
