I carry the conclusion of my great escape
it's branded in my retina, you can read it in my gaze
I've come this far and I just want to go back
cuz I'm so scared that it was my last chance
I don't care that you're cutting at my throat
while I'm bleeding to death I'm gasping "I love you so"
I've shed so many tears, I've written so many songs
so why are we apart? what am I doing wrong
I try to give you everything and I just keep fucking it up
but I know that if you were here, we could make it all work out
or maybe this love would tear us apart
when you're not by my side, I wish I could just lay down and die
but I keep saving myself for the next time
you need me to bleed, you need me to ache
you need me to take away all your heart's pain
my shoulder is here if you need to cry
and i won't close my eyes when you need me to die
