I’d rather jump into a rushing river
Then listen to your cries.
I’d shoot myself in the head
If it meant you’d stop your lies.

Look at where your proposition got us.
Look at where it led us to.
This terrible relationship,
This horrible feud.

Far from fun or exciting,
Or even exhilarating,
I lose all my adrenaline
When put through all this exhaustion.

I can’t understand,
I don’t know why.
We shouldn’t have allowed this to happen,
We shouldn’t have ignored the signs.

The problem is, without you,
I couldn’t survive in this world.
Despite your demand for attention,
Despite your life threatening style.

I couldn’t do it,
I couldn’t do it without you.
Which is a miserable thing,
A sin of catastrophe.

So I hope one day,
I hope one day,
One day,
I hope that we’ll finally admit we were wrong.
