I lie awake at night
Dreaming of a time I could say the pain was worth it
That I didn't deserve to be treated so unkind
You saw me crying on the fire escape
I locked your eyes, looked like your face was frozen
Like you didn't even notice me dying
Oh, but even though you know I would stay
I'd risk my life for you
I'd twist that knife for you
Love is death, love is dying
With every breath, cells dividing
I'm dying for you
I'm dying for you
Love is steel, a silver lining
With every tear multiplying
I'm crying for you
Yeah, I'm dying for you
Blood sacrifices made
It's everything it takes for me to keep from screaming
Like a rabbit out my sleeve, it's a miracle I'm still breathing
But I have no choice
It's like my voice is in a box that's buried leagues and leagues below me
With only fishes for company
Oh, but even though you know I would stay
I'd take my life for you
I'd twist that knife for you
Love is death, love is dying
With every breath, cells dividing
I'm dying for you
I'm dying for you
Love is steel, a silver lining
With every tear multiplying
I'm crying for you
Yeah, I'm dying for you
Yeah, I'm dying for you
I'd give my life for you
Twist that knife for you
It's all, all for you
Love is death, love is dying
With every breath, cells dividing
I'm dying for you (I'm dying for you)
I'm dying for you (I'm dying for you)
Love is steel, a silver lining
With every tear multiplying
I'm crying for you (I'm crying for you)
Yeah, I'm dying for you
Can't you see I'm dying, dying? (I'm dying for you)
Oh, love
