I’ll kiss the scars on your skin
Treat you like a princess
No queen to rule with a king
Because I’m scared of commitment
Maybe we could start over
Maybe things could have been different
A bullet aimed at hour love
I’ll take the shot for you, my best friend.

Crashing, they’re crashing
The waves of my regret.
Holding on to nothing
At the edge of my seat left in suspense.
Cover my eyes
So my heart can’t bleed through these bandages

I need my wake up call
Bring to my ears, the ringing of tears
Watch my own downfall.
I refuse to take you down with me.
Use me as a stepping stone,
Land on your own two feet.
Your life is more valued and precious compared to mine.

And there’s no real way of telling you.
There’s no real way to say goodbye.
You’re sorry that things had to be this way.
I’m sorry that our love couldn’t survive!

Crashing, it’s all crashing down.
Flooding my mind with waves of shame.
Holding on to barely anything.
What’s yours is yours
And I’ve nothing good for you to claim.
A bullet aimed straight towards our love.
Shoot it down, shoot me now,
I’ll take this pain.
