lyrics

Put a nail in the coffin
Before the dead comes alive
I wasn't asking for a feeling
I was just trying to survive

Do you believe in lifetimes?
Maybe there's a second chance
But I gave up my lifeline
I told you I don't do romance

I did a dance with the devil
He told me I was beautiful
But he left me at the altar
Now I'm so cold and miserable

I never had the closure
It was all just open cask
At least I have so composure
As long as I don't drop the mask

The closer I get to love
The worse it feels
I just seem to give it up
When it starts to feel real

Stop peeling the onion
He said I should “take a stab”
“But don’t you find love annoying?
Like there’s no going back?”

Stop pulling at the heart strings
Oh it’s only gonna sting
No of course I’m not crying
I don’t feel anything

The closer I get to love
The worse it feels
I just seem to give it up
When it starts to feel real

And I just don’t have the heart
'Cause I’m already dead
So babe turn out your light
While I make my bed

When the reaper holds you hostage
Then the creeps come out to play
Think you’re safe now in your cottage
But you just wait for your dying day

It comes back to haunt you
When you think you’ve moved on
When the new love supports you
You don’t know what you’re running from

I wish there was a breakthrough
But I know I can’t go back
Once you’ve had love and lost it
Then the whole world it turns black
