lyrics

there's always something that we won’t ever forget
I'm trying to remember the little I have left
I hear the planes soaring above me
but I know they're not you
the wind is cold and stronger than me
but I will stand my ground too

I won’t die like this

am I more than just alive?
I need the reassurance that we will survive
you're the reason the sky cries
you were the sun that gave me life
I’m sorry for the things I did to you before I died

you said you’d always love me but here we are now
I don’t blame you
I hate myself too and I'm trying to get out
the things I once loved feel heavy
and I can’t bare the weight
a convalescent in this menagerie
the circus won’t take

and I won’t die like this

and even if I died tonight
if I saw your face, your eyes would rip through my insides
you are the reason the sun will rise
you were the light that gave me life
I'm sorry for the things I did to you before I died
