You only get the good.
Even though they’ve “listen”
even though they’ve “understood”
even though they’ll  “die for me”!
I mean they’ve said they would.
Life has taught me that no words last forever, that's why you only get the good.

Because for me to dive to the deepest dark deprived  depths of my desperate life
means risk, so I think I’ll lie.

She said I only have hours left to steal her breath
but how am I meant to live up to that test?
Every moment I’m with her there's explosions in my chest-
but to her our time together is emptiness.

I can’t miss the mark if I don’t try,
so when you ask about my day, I’ll stay quiet and reply that I am fine,
even if I’m dead inside.
