Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Back of the room, looking at you
Counting the steps between us
A hundred and five little blades in a line
From your skin to mine and I feel it
Eyes on the ground, but I can't look up now
Don't wanna give it away, my secret
[Verse 2]
In another life, my teeth and tongue
Would speak aloud what until now
I've only sung
[Verse 3]
'Cause I would die to make you mine
Bleed me dry each and every time
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back 1000 times
You can make me wait forever
Push me away and tell me never
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back 1000 times
Hey, hey
[Verse 4]
Kiss me goodnight like a good friend might
I'll do the same, but won't mean it
'Cause love is a cage, and these words on a page
Carry the pain, they don't free it
[Verse 5]
In another life I wouldn't need to
Console myself as I resign to release you
[Verse 6]
'Cause I would die to make you mine
Bleed me dry each and every time
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back 1000 times
You can make me wait forever
Push me away and tell me never
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back 1000 times
[Verse 7]
Again, again I let it go, let it go
Cover my mouth
Don't let a single word slip out
Wouldn't wanna tell you, no, tell you, no
Nothing could be worse
Than the risk of losing what I don't have now
And we could buy the minute, though
Is it so bad If I wanna cry out?
[Verse 8]
That I would die to make you mine
Bleed me dry almost every time
But I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back 1000 times
Make me wait forever
Push me away and tell me never
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back 1000 times
[Verse 9]
I would come back 1000 times
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I would come back 1000 times
