I took on all your pain,
Oh, what a great mistake I made!
I never thought you'd leave me with all your burdens overneath me,
‘I miss you' would be understated,
Memories have slowly faded,
That love you sacrificed was just another way to die.
If heaven is a place you'll go, I don't know if I will ever see you,
And if you leave before, you know, I'll let go of all we've ever been through.
I'm finding out the ways to live, in spite of all the wars you left inside my mind,
Love is just a way to die.
We both have scars to show off all the nights we carved alone.
If you'd come back, believe me, I'd show you pain is not self-healing.
Do you think of me at breakfast? When your hungry nights are sexless?
One day you'll come to find I found another way to die.
If heaven is a place you'll go, I don't know if I will ever see you,
And if you leave before, you know, I'll let go of all we've ever been through.
I'm finding out the ways to live, in spite of all the wars you left inside my mind,
Love is just a way to die.
Make me forget my name, and get drunk on your words, and laugh,
Save me regret and blame, and let love rectify the past.
I'll settle for a life that's a little more gentle,
If you'd come back, we could last.
If heaven is a place you'll go, I don't know if I will ever see you,
And if you leave before, you know, I'll let go of all we've ever been through.
I'm finding out the ways to live, in spite of all the wars you left inside my mind,
Love is just a way to die.
