If We Break Here

Please dear lay your head on my chest And let us just rest together one final time As the world shatters and we're left with the tatters And dark pits where our eyes once did shine We're dying inside We're burning alive We are so sick and tired of biding our time If we break here, at least we'll break side by side With my heart bleeding through your shirt And your eyes burning holes in mine Our whole world is stopping But there is nothing romantic about this There will be no story book ending last kiss Because the fairy tale is burning black and in the end there's only pain It's burning and turning black like the inside of our veins But if we break here, at least I broke while holding you I told you I'd never leave you, and now you know my word is true So rest, my darling, sleep like you've never slept before Sleep there on my chest like you haven't a care in the world Sleep in my arms so that we can go knowing That I am your man, and you are my girl If we break here, at least we didn't break alone
