Love is Death

[Verse 1]

I lie awake at night, dreaming of a time

Where I could say the pain was worth it

That I didn't deserve to be treated so unkind

You saw me crying on the fire escape

I locked your eyes, looked like your face was frozen

Like you didn't even notice me dying

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, but even though you know I would stay

I'd risk my life for you

I'd twist that knife for you

[Chorus]

Love is death, love is dying

With every breath, cells dividing

I'm dying for you

I'm dying for you

Love is steel, a silver lining

With every tear multiplying

I'm crying for you

Yeah, I'm dying for you

[Verse 2]

Blood sacrifices made

It's everything it takes for me to keep from screaming

Like a rabbit out my sleeve, it's a miracle I'm still breathing

But I have no choice, it's like my voice is in a box

That's buried leagues and leagues below me

With only fishes for company

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, but even though you know I would stay

I'd take my life for you

I'd twist that knife for you

[Chorus]

Love is death, love is dying

With every breath, cells dividing

I'm dying for you

I'm dying for you

Love is steel, a silver lining

With every tear multiplying

I'm crying for you

Yeah, I'm dying for you

Yeah, I'm dying for you

[Bridge]

I'd give my life for you

Twist that knife for you

It's all, all for you

[Chorus]

Love is death, love is dying

With every breath, cells dividing

I'm dying for you (I'm dying for you)

I'm dying for you (I'm dying for you)

Love is steel, a silver lining

With every tear multiplying

I'm crying for you (I'm crying for you)

Yeah, I'm dying for you

[Outro]

Can't you see I'm dying, dying?

Oh yeah
