Her teeth are like white seeds in a scarlet fruit.
And the moment that she left the room,
the album started skipping.
Goodbye to beauty shared with the ones that you love.
This is a disaster and I can't get past her.
I'm reaching out to a hand that no longer extends.
I decided to name her Insomnia.
I'll never be complete till we take what's inside and turn it back again.
Oh darling, I cant bare the thought of separation.
The years will pass and we'll forget just how this made us.
I thought I could live in your arms
and spend every moment I had with you,
stay up all night with the stars,
confess all the faith that I had in you.
It's too late, I'm sure and lonely.
Another night, another dream wasted on you.
When we met, you said we were the same.
You know that we're different.
And all the times you promised me
that everything would work out in the end:
you were gravely mistaken.
Your words are infectious,
your eyes leave me breathless.
I think it's safe to say
you're deadly in your own way.
Forever your eyes will hold the memory.
I saw your heart as it overtook me.
We tried so hard to understand and reason, but,
in that one moment, I gave my heart away.
That's what you get when you let your heart win.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
I'd push you away, but you are the only thing I know.
At your feet, I now lay. You are the only thing I know.
Oh, my God, I hate the me that I've become;
this needy, useless, forgetting one.
Truthfully, I can't be the me...
the me that I've washed up to be.
I'm looking down at this mess that you've made
and I can't believe that I stayed
so unhappy for so long.
Where did I go wrong?
I've got to get out of this.
My hand is on the handle.
We're leaving everything behind.
Goodbye for a lifetime.
I can't sleep tonight.
Stab me directly in my heart.
Watch me bleed; lying at your feet.
I'm dying, living for just one last breath with you.
I live, for you and only you.
Stop lying; you know I'd lie with you.
We're dying on the inside
You're smiling on the outside.
You lie through your teeth.
You smile in your sleep.
The truth is that you could slit my throat and,
with my one last gasping breath,
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt.
Letting go has never been my thing.
Let's wave one last goodbye
to this nightmare that we once knew.
Are you happy? You got what you wanted.
You were winter, I left you for summer.
