Way down beneath me

Hoping to catch your breath and hold your steps, they walk beside me

I know the ending

Hoping you won't forget you must be left

You can't come with me

I've been holding out the whole time

I've been falling down, hoping you won't crash with me

I've been writing down the goodbyes

The light behind your eyes makes them look so empty

I can finally read the road signs

If there's nowhere left inside, then why do I feel so angry?

Are we drifting further?

Until now, I'm hiding and watching you turn away

I'm not taking you with me (taking you with me)

This unfamiliar place, you're watching it burn away

A slow decay (a slow decay)

Way down beneath me

Hoping to catch your breath and hold your steps, they walk beside me

I know the ending

Hoping you won't forget you can't come with me

(hold your breath for me)

(hold your breath for me)

(hold your breath for me)

(hold your breath for me) (HOLD YOUR BREATH FOR ME.)

You're setting the pace on me, and I'm fading

Your frail body anchoring the weight of me

YOU'RE SETTING THE PACE ON ME. (and I'm fading)
