lyrics

We existed in a vacuum
Until the noise outside became deafening

I wish that the way you smiled wasn’t so deadly
I wish that your kisses didn’t taste so sweet
Although everyone told me to be more careful
I fell willingly

So stab my heart right now
I’ve asked you to
You can twist the knife it bleeds

Just get it over with
So bittersweet
You can twist the knife it bleeds
But the pain will set me free

I wish that your green eyes weren’t so magnetic
I wish that I never met you… that’s a lie
Although I knew loving you would start an earthquake
Let it shake! I tried not to walk
Down that forbidden path
Down into the dark
Down that forbidden path

Although everyone told me to be more careful
I fell willingly

So stab my heart right now
I’ve asked you to
You can twist the knife it bleeds

Just get it over with
So bittersweet
You can twist the knife it bleeds
But the pain will set me free

If your mind’s made up
Who am I to judge?
Who am I to judge?

Yeah I know how it goes and she knows we all know
This is it now
I just hope that you know that I do understand you’re a good man
Yeah I know I must go I must go on alone on without you
Yeah I know I must go I must go on alone to survive

But the pain will set me free
Yes the pain will set me free
