lyrics

I just swallowed a fist full
of whatever I could get my hands into
And now trace the grains of wood
on the floor
In a moment or two - I won't be here anymore

You could never be yourself around me
But the only person judging was you
You can think what you will
'Cause I know I can't change a thing

But this anger you wear like
some sort armor
is weighing you way down
And I tried to under-stand
and make it worth staying

Now I know - I never stood a chance
No I never stood a chance, with you
2x

Just so we're clear,
I loved you from the start
And even with my last breath
I leave you my heart

This burden I've caused you
will soon be a memory
And eventually my face will turn
fucking blurry

I just swallowed a fist full
of whatever I could get my hands into
And now trace the grains of wood
on the floor
In a moment or two - I won't be here anymore
No!

Just so we're clear,
I love you from the start
And even with my last breath
I leave you with my heart.
