There's always been something keeping us divided.
It's a skeleton in your closet and the devil in my pocket.
You're the brightest ray of sunshine I've seen in a while.
I don't want you to go.

As I breathe in, the pain slips away.
I want you to do this, I want you to fix me but the pain inside is rooted too deep.
As I breathe out, I know we'll loose our flame.

You tried to leave because you know it's not fair, I shouldn't put you through this again.
Please forgive me, I'll do anything for you.
I'll throw it all away if you'll say you'll stay another day.

As I breathe in, the pain slips away.
I want you to do this, I want you to fix me but the pain inside is rooted too deep.
As I breathe out, I know we'll loose our flame.

It's too hard for me, I want to be the man you deserve but I'm just the shell of a man.
I'm still the broken boy I was, just hiding behind the mask of a man.
My devils are facing me, they're in the way.
I can't wait for you to fix me, even though I know I can't fix myself any faster.

As I breathe in, the pain slips away.
I want you to do this, I want you to fix me but the pain inside is rooted too deep.
As I breathe out, I know we'll loose our flame.

I'll leave you like this:

Angels like you don't belong with demons like me.
I can't tell you why.
Or I can sell you a million lies.
I know I can't handle something so good.
An Angel like you deserves so much more than my corrupted soul.

Let me blow out our flame.
