lyrics

Look at the bright side
your heart is dead but your body's still alive
look at the bright side
your chest's stained red but love can still survive

and I know and I know
this healing process is far too fucking slow
it's taken me two years
to finally wipe away the tears

so get up so get up
run away as far as you can
we'll split the distance
between heaven, hell, the ocean, and sand

Feverish in my head
to think that I was better off dead
Still following footsteps left
I think it's time to my mind to rest
Feverish in my head
to think that I was better off dead
Still following footsteps left
I think it's time to my mind to rest

Call me a quitter all you want
I forfeit this game that you force me to play

I can't hear her name I've had enough
It's too much for this brittle heart to bear

I pledge allegiance to myself
that I know I can swear
that I know I can swear

Feverish in my head
to think that I was better off dead
Still following footsteps left
I think it's time to my mind to rest
Feverish in my head
to think that I was better off dead
Still following footsteps left
I think it's time to my mind to rest

I don't think I'm over-thinking
I've lost sight and I'm glad it's sinking in
this time I'll pick up the pieces
this time I won't let her in

I won't let her in
