Love Is Death

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

Oh, but even though you know I would stay

I'd risk my life for you

I'd twist that knife for you

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

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

Oh, but even though you know I would stay

I'd take my life for you

I'd twist that knife for you

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

I'd give my life for you

Twist that knife for you

It's all, all for you

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

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

Oh yeah
