If I was to break
Right in front of you,
What would you do?
If I was to die...
In your arms as
I lie tonight,
What would you do?
Would you save me?
Would you choke me?
Pull these heartstrings tighter
Around my throat
And scream
“How could you leave me?”
If I was to take a gun,
Put it to my head,
Would you stop me?
Would you join me?
If I was to just give up,
Say “our hope is dead”
Would you hold me?
Would you disagree?
Say “this is the end”
Would you lie to me?
Would you fucking lie to me then?
Would you save me?
Would you choke me?
Wrap your hands tighter
Around my throat
And pull?
Trigger me into death,
My coffin is full.
MY COFFIN IS ALREADY FULL.
Come on, do it for me now.
Show me if you care.
Make it quick and painless,
Or kill me slow as I can bear.
Show me if you love me
Or tell me why your hate is so
Or let me rest in pieces knowing
That you wouldn’t look back if I chose to go.
I need to know…
Would you save me?
Would you choke me?
Wrap your arms tighter
Around myself,
Then leave me?
Like you did last time?
Test how fucked up I can be.
Wrap your hands tighter…
My body froze.
Yes, I remember how you squoze,
Like so many others before.
Yet my misshapen heart still grows.
It lives; it bleeds, but on it goes…
Would you save me?
Would you choke me?
Wrap your hands tighter
Around my throat and pull…
Please, I’m too weak and you’re too strong,
So me for this once, be brave.
Pull the trigger so I can finally go
Rest with my broken soul in the grave.
If you were to break
Right in front of me,
What would I do?
Would I be selfish again?
Just like we always are?
Would I refuse to see our end
While the beginning’s still so far?
Who am I really doing this for?
I’m a hypocrite like you are.
Is this for you, for me or…
Would I save you?
Would I choke you?
Pull these heartstrings tighter
Around your throat
And scream
“How could you hurt me?
You know how your hurt kills me.
But I’ll try to fix you again.
It’s myself that I can’t mend.
Please try to fix me again.
This cannot be the end.”
I would do anything for you…
I would do everything for you.
If I was to break
Right in front of you,
What would you do?
Would you save me?
Would you choke me?
Pull my heartstrings tighter
Around my throat
And scream
“You can’t just leave me.”
Yes, that’s what you would do.
…What I would do for you.
