Counting Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't bare to face what's growing in my head
Please get away from me
Take advantage of what I still guess you do
One day you'll beg for me

[Chorus]
So I'm saying nothing
Each day taking that much more
As I'm screaming all my pain
You will be there counting

[Verse 2]
You just see me as something you throw around
You aren't there for me
Beaten down to the ground, yes it always seems
You take more from me

[Chorus]
So I'm saying nothing
Each day taking that much more
As I'm screaming all my pain
You will be there counting


[Bridge]
It's funny how it gets started
They get their money grubbing fingers on you
They get your money, and the girls, and the fame
I only do it for the fun and for games
It's funny how it gets started
They get their money grubbing fingers on you
They get your money, and the girls, and the fame
I only do it for the fun, that's my game
[Chorus]
So I'm saying nothing
Each day taking that much more
As I'm screaming all my pain
You will be there counting
So I'm saying nothing
Each day taking that much more
As I'm screaming all this pain
You will be there counting

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
