I'm killing us slowly Catch me 'cause I know I'm falling Slowly I'd burn if it meant you'd love me Feels like I'll never learn In this life, always taking turns I gave everything I had Didn't listen 'cause that's not what you asked What will it take to forgive the lies? There's no hope inside your eyes And now I sit and question why I'm killing us slowly Catch me 'cause I know I'm falling Slowly I'd burn if it meant you'd love me You just see all the nights that I made you cry I fucked up, it's too late to get it right No matter what you choose to believe I'd still burn if it mеant you love me You swear you'll nеver leave It might be what sets us free I tried to get through to you Didn't listen 'cause that's not what you do What will it take to forgive the lies? There's no hope inside your eyes And now I sit and question why I'm killing us slowly Catch me 'cause I know I'm falling Slowly I'd burn if it meant you'd love me You just see all the nights that I made you cry I fucked up, it's too late to get it right No matter what you choose to believe I'd still burn if it meant you love me How can I fix what I don't know's wrong? Maybe you're right, I should let this go What if I miss you? You know I'm not as strong I'm killing us slowly Catch me 'cause I know I'm falling Slowly I'd burn if it meant you'd love me Slowly Catch me 'cause I know I'm falling Slowly I'd burn if it meant you'd love me You just see all the nights that I made you cry I fucked up, it's too late to get it right No matter what you choose to believe I'd still burn if it meant you love me I'd burn if it meant you'd love me I'd burn if it meant you'd love me You know that I'd burn You know that I'd burn You know that I'd burn You know that I'd burn

Strange love keeps pulling me in Strange love Strange love (Keeps pulling me in) Saw my future in your eyes, I didn't think twice Would have never believed it Touch my fire, melt the ice, it's better inside Will I ever stop bleeding? 'Cause I can't fight and you can't hide but Neither can let go Aren't you tired? Save us from the Fate that we both know Strange love keeps pulling me in So low, I'm sinking deep within 'Cause I wanted to feel like this was real but I'm in hell again Your strange love (Strange love) Strange love When will it ever end? Will I ever get it right? A victim of the night, are you happy to see this? Gave you everything I had I fell for the mask that you made me believe in No, I can't fight and you can't hide but Neither can let go (Can let go) Aren't you tired? Save us from the Fate that we both know Strange love keeps pulling me in So low, I'm sinking deep within 'Cause I wanted to feel like this was real But I'm in hell again Your strange love (Strange love) Strange love When will it ever end? I choked on all your lies like lullabies I drank your love like it was cyanide Yeah They call it strange love Strange love keeps pulling me in So low, I'm sinking deep within 'Cause I wanted to feel like this was real But I'm in hell again Your strange love (Strange love) Strange love When will it ever end? When will it ever end? When will it ever...

Can you taste the fear in the back of my throat? So terrified and I'm shaking like a tremor Face down on a bed of nails I swallowed a pill Welcome to your new reality Is it everything that you thought it would be? Slow fade eternally Is this what you wanted? Is this what you wanted? Welcome to your new reality (New reality) Sweat on my palms, starin' at the wall Screamin' for help, can you hear me at all? Can't shake the feeling, I've had too much Checking my pulse, ice cold to the touch Watch out, watch out There's no going back now Welcome to your new reality Is it everything that you thought it would be? Slow fade eternally Is this what you wanted? Is this what you wanted? (Welcome to your new reality) (New reality) (Three, two, one) Go, yeah Are we running out of time? I'm here to let you know The world is eating itself It's time to let it go Let it go Welcome to your new reality Is it everything that you thought it would be? Slow fade eternally Is this what you wanted? Is this what you wanted? Welcome to your new reality (Your new reality) Is it everything that you thought it would be? Slow fade eternally Is this what you wanted? Is this what you wanted?

It's feeling like the world is just a wicked game Sell ourselves and lost all shame Aren't you tired of livin' with your eyes shut? Are you living with your eyes shut? (Yeah) I thought when I got older I wouldn't think of things this way Scared to raise a family I might not live to celebrate But time's been so hard for most of us Some days we all give up Life's not made for the hopeful ones It makes you run from what you trust It's feeling like the world is just a wicked game Sell ourselves and lost all shame Aren't you tired of livin' with your eyes shut? Find the truth I know that we're afraid of 'Cause the world is such a wicked game We're numb to war, we look away I say try to fix the pain that we made Face the dark sun, don't look away Don't look away, oh Face the dark sun, don't look away It's hard to face the mirror When you don't love what you see The problem feels too big to solve But it starts with you and me Everything feels broken Yet we look the other way Life is made for the hopeful ones Hope you bring us better days It's feeling like the world is just a wicked game Sell ourselves and lost all shame Aren't you tired of livin' with your eyes shut? Find the truth I know that we're afraid of 'Cause the world is such a wicked game We're numb to war, we look away I say try to fix the pain that we made Face the dark sun, don't look away If you feel lost like I know you do You've found your home Stare into the dark sun Everybody thinks that they know the way You tear me down every single day But everything has led me here And I see in the dark It's feeling like the world is just a wicked game Sell ourselves and lost all shame Aren't you tired of livin' with your eyes shut? Livin' with your eyes shut 'Cause the world is such a wicked game We're numb to war, we look away I say try to fix the pain that we made Face the dark sun, don't look away Don't look away, oh Face the dark sun, don't look away
