lyrics

So much pain when the hearts burn unevenly
So much burn when the pain aches exceedingly
So much heart break when one heart stops beating
So much good for you what will be
The death of me
I see this is good for you
The shredding that you’ve done to my lungs
I see this is good for you
The pain that I just want to be done
I see this is good for you
My urge to die by the hands of anyone
I see this is good for you
My necessity of distractions

So I can’t sleep without ingesting what may be the death of me
And I can’t eat except what may be the death of me
And I just keep thinking about how I could be the death of me
These fucking circumstances will be the death of me
So much pain when the hearts burn unevenly
So much burn when the pain aches exceedingly
So much heart break when one heart stops beating
So much good for you what will be
I see this is good for you
As your new life destroys mine
I see this is good for you
As my face is stapled to a frown
I see this is good for you
How it takes all I have to live through the day
I see this is good for you
My agony was holding you down
And I will teach you to not leave me when I need you the most
Even if I am the one who threw you away
And I will teach you to not make promises that you won’t keep
Even if they’re the same promises that have made me weep
And I will teach you to not believe that you won’t feel guilt for me
Even if I am the one who will die in the hopes of making you cry
And I will teach me not to live your life
Even if I am the one whose must be discarded
So I can’t sleep without ingesting what may be the death of me
And I can’t eat except what may be the death of me
And I just keep thinking about how I could be the death of me
These fucking circumstances will be the death of me
So much pain when the hearts burn unevenly
So much burn when the pain aches exceedingly
So much heart break when one heart stops beating
So much good for you what will be
The death of me
So much pain when the hearts burn unevenly
So much burn when the pain aches exceedingly
So much heart break when one heart stops beating
So much good for you what will be
The death of me
So much pain when the hearts burn unevenly
So much burn when the pain aches exceedingly
So much heart break when one heart stops beating
So much good for you what will be
The death of me
