VERSE 1

Every time I look at you, the world just falls away
I don’t know where it goes
But I wish that I could go there, too
And maybe stay
A simple word from you dispels my guards and wards
I want to hate you so much
Because I love you too much
And it’s not good for either of us
We should both fall on our swords
You leave in me an aching emptiness
A hole that’s never filled
Except with hurt when you’re away
And pain, no matter what you say
It’s eating me alive
It’s killing me inside
And I don’t want to die
Unless that is the only way

CHORUS

I can’t feel anything at all but
I can hear the sirens calling
And it’s like the world is falling out from under me
Set me free
Please, let me hit the ground
And let me lie there, dead and unaware
Of all the pain you’re causing
Let my mind go blank, have mercy on my soul
If you love me, let me go

VERSE 2

Every time you get near me, my poor heart skips a beat
You know I didn’t want this
But now we’re stuck in it together
Head over feet
I feel your fingernails run down my back again
I wish you’d go away
But I want you to stay
There’s just no way to call this living
We know what happens in the end
Your love is like some dark addiction
A raging, crimson need
I can’t get enough to live
But you have no more to give
You say you feel the same
But how can so much pain
Be shared, unless it leaves a stain
Oh, is that all love really is

CHORUS x2

OUTRO

Please, let me let you go
