I don't have very long,
Will you tell me that you need me?
There's something wrong,
I know you see right through me.
I try my best,
But those intentions were lost.
A burning flame,
On a candle wick that's been gone.
It's becoming clear,
That my simple words are useless.
If I just disappeared,
Would you say it's me that you miss?
Please lie to me,
Just to try and save face.
I know you're already gone.
I know that I was too late.
I'll soon be gone,
But you won't be sorry.
My back holds your knife,
In my heart it's burried.
I'll take a drink,
In the morning I'll regret it.
The words I spill,
"I think it's time to forfeit."
I'll haunt your dreams,
But not as a ghost or a spirit.
You'll see my grave,
And you'll know that I meant it.
I'll see you around,
In your hometown in hell.
I'll be burning alive,
All because in love I fell.
