barely breathing Lyrics

My last request

Take these memories and hold them to your chest

Forget the rest

As you're scratching at my wrists in search of death

I don't love you anymore

At least that's what I told myself

I still rot and dwell

On the things I said that I should've kept to myself

Not even misery loves me

Undercut the price on my head

Cause I'd rather you take my life for free

Than leave me behind like old debris

When I left you alone you were barely breathing

And keeping me around just delays your healing

Don't turn around don't give me a reason

To infect your life with words of treason

Emptiness has left me in this bed

I can't pretend that I'm coping

It's like there's a bullet in my head

That I can't convince to split me open

Lust isn't love

And love isn't here

I would give my life

If only to see you clear

Not even misery loves me

Undercut the price on my head

Cause I'd rather you take my life for free

Than leave me behind like old debris

When I left you alone you were barely breathing

And keeping me around just delays your healing

Don't turn around don't give me a reason

To infect your life with words of treason
