lyrics

So this is it
The end of you and me and everything in between
But their expectations were always bound to bleed out
Your air was sinless and you wouldn't let me breathe with you
You couldn't see this through

It was fleshed out
Only to be flushed down
Along with the rest of me

There's no chance
With your cold hands
Giving unwanted sympathy

A lighter will burn a bridge fine
The flames won't swallow the sky
I'm glad they are peaceful tonight
I can see you from my side

But why would I want that
I close the shades behind my back
To hide away the sunlight's face
That shows me all the time I've wasted
Aimlessly numbing myself
You reaching out to me is hell
Cause nothing you could say or do will bring him home
Leave me alone
