Cardinal in the Crossfire

The cardinal was killed in the crossfire
The lover's note now reads like a satire
Brace yourself for one last kiss
Taste the panic on your lips

Bottle it up, swallow the poison
Running away, you're a shell of a person
So pretty, so plastic, so fucking dramatic

I can't sleep, it cuts deep, grit my teeth
It's better if we both forget this
No pity, forgive me, just kill me
It's better if we both forget this

(So just forget me)

Now every night is met with a cold sweat
Try your best, but you can't forget
Tell me what I wanna hear
Smiling while fighting tears

Bottle it up, swallow the poison
Running away, you're a shell of a person
So pretty, so plastic, so fucking dramatic

I can't sleep, it cuts deep, grit my teeth
It's better if we both forget this
No pity, forgive me, just kill me
It's better if we both forget this

(Forget this)

I guess I got what I deserve
'Cause when it's love, it always hurts
This distance is killing me

I can't sleep, it cuts deep, grit my teeth
It's better if we both forget this
No pity, forgive me, just kill me
It's better if we both forget this

I can't sleep (I can't sleep)
It cuts deep (it cuts deep)
Grit my teeth
It's better if we both forget this
