We never had it right.
We must've tried a thousand times.
Now I can't look you in the eyes
Without a stabbing pain inside.
This wasn't how it ends
I didn't want these dead friends.
And as the burning pain subsides
I know that this is how I die,
With nothing left tonight.
It never works out quite right.
And we can hope that we'll go on
But all we had to give is gone.
We gave it all tonight
We swallowed every drop right
And as it melts away our lives
This regret, it will subside.
You should’ve run away.
You had no right to save me.
I have a chance to make a change.
It’s something I’ve been craving.
We gave up everything.
We know we’re not worth saving.
With no fight to stay alive,
Why can’t you let me have a reason to die.
There's nothing left tonight.
I guess there's one thing left, right?
There's a burning in my throat and I
Never planned to make it out alive.
I gave it all tonight.
I guess this is fulfilled, right?
I'm going on into the great beyond
With nothing weighing on my mind.
And do you wonder what it's like
If you stop keeping up this lie?
We both know we're gonna die
It's a waste of breath to try.
And with your voice suddenly clear,
Your last words they pierced my ear,
"I don't think I should have died.
I'm pretty certain there's no afterlife."
