Here in heaven we fold
But here in hell we hold on
We double the pains inflicted upon us
And send them back from where they came
Aren't you glad I'm now in heaven?
You can hurt me
Or kill me
The decision was up to you
You've taken my heart
And you've cut it up
So I guess you chose the latter
My emptiness fills only with pain
And, I guess it's needless to say,
But you're killing me
You're killing me
You should know how I feel
When you're with someone else
Because you know how I feel
When I'm with you
But you're only here to hurt me
And I only feel this way
Because I hoped you might feel the same
But as always my hopes have been betrayed
My emptiness fills only with pain
And, I guess it's needless to say,
But you're killing me
You're killing me
You broke my heart into a thousand pieces
And when I tried to put them back together
You said "I swear I'll never love you"
And put that gun against my head
You should have known you'd kill me
You should have known the strength of words
But I guess you knew you'd kill me
Because I'm dying right now anyway
The emptiness I feel without you
Fills with an intense pain
Void of all other feelings I
Realise my predicament
And realise that you're killing me
This empty vessel fills only with pain
And, I guess it's needless to say,
But you're killing me, you're killing me
The angels of heartbreak all know me by name
Because whenever you leave, my heart begins to break
They see me all the time, and love it when I cry
And I'd bet they love you for this, they'll love you for killing me
My emptiness fills only with pain
I have no desire for vengeance
My emptiness fills only with pain
Which means there's no room for love
And there's no room for you
"Holy Hannah", well I guess you're unholy now
It's what you wanted all along
And now it means I'm free of you
Because I'm now in heaven and you're going to hell
But here in hell we hold on
We double the pains inflicted upon us
And send them back from where they came
Aren't you glad I'm now in heaven?
You can hurt me
Or kill me
The decision was up to you
You've taken my heart
And you've cut it up
So I guess you chose the latter
My emptiness fills only with pain
And, I guess it's needless to say,
But you're killing me
You're killing me
You should know how I feel
When you're with someone else
Because you know how I feel
When I'm with you
But you're only here to hurt me
And I only feel this way
Because I hoped you might feel the same
But as always my hopes have been betrayed
My emptiness fills only with pain
And, I guess it's needless to say,
But you're killing me
You're killing me
You broke my heart into a thousand pieces
And when I tried to put them back together
You said "I swear I'll never love you"
And put that gun against my head
You should have known you'd kill me
You should have known the strength of words
But I guess you knew you'd kill me
Because I'm dying right now anyway
The emptiness I feel without you
Fills with an intense pain
Void of all other feelings I
Realise my predicament
And realise that you're killing me
This empty vessel fills only with pain
And, I guess it's needless to say,
But you're killing me, you're killing me
The angels of heartbreak all know me by name
Because whenever you leave, my heart begins to break
They see me all the time, and love it when I cry
And I'd bet they love you for this, they'll love you for killing me
My emptiness fills only with pain
I have no desire for vengeance
My emptiness fills only with pain
Which means there's no room for love
And there's no room for you
"Holy Hannah", well I guess you're unholy now
It's what you wanted all along
And now it means I'm free of you
Because I'm now in heaven and you're going to hell
Author notes
The verse starting with "My emptiness fills only with pain" is the chorus, I don't like cluttering up the page with anything other than the pure lyrics, I hope you don't mind.
I think it would fit best somewhere under one of the recent punk genres... I'd like to think it would fit in amongst artists such as Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional.
