Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'd rather bury you alive than bear the burden that you keep
'Cause you're a poison in my veins
I'll never say surrender
I'd rather be somebody else than play the victim in the end
[PreChorus]
How can I miss you if you never seem to leave
My dying dear
My dying dear
But I will stay right here
[Chorus]
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
Love had other plans for me
So I locked my heart inside a box and threw away the key
I'm in love with a make-believe
There's a special place in hell for all the broken hearts like me
[Verse 2]
At least I'm not chewing on my teeth
Under the maggots and the dirt
You fucking liar, left alone
Twenty-five familiar names I've met before
There's a history here of what's in store
[PreChorus]
How did you think that this would end?
You're lying to yourself again
What good could ever come from toying with the heart of someone positively dangerous like me?
[Chorus]
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
Love had other plans for me
So I locked my heart inside a box and threw away the key
I'm in love with a make-believe
There's a special place in hell for all the broken hearts like me
[Chorus]
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
Love had other plans for me
So I locked my heart inside a box and threw away the key
I'm in love with a make-believe
There's a special place in hell for all the broken hearts like me
[Bridge]
I'm not a man or a machine
I'm just a finger on the pulse of lucid dreams
I'd rather bury you alive than put a bullet in your chest and watch you die
[PreChorus]
How did you think that this would end?
You're lying to yourself again
I can finally tell the truth and how I really feel
The world is better off without you in it
Beg for air, now that's the spirit
[Chorus]
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
Love had other plans for me
So I locked my heart inside a box and threw away the key
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
It was just not meant to be
Now she's choking on her words just six feet underneath
