I didn't gain a soul, mate, I just subtracted myself Put my hopes and my hunger on a diamond shelf

Every I love you was a withdrawal of breath A beautiful slowing, a comfortable death

I watched my reflection just wither and fade Paying the debt for a choice that you made

There's nothing to show for the blood on the floor Just the sound of a ghost in the slam of a door

I'm bankrupt and hollow and starving and cold Trading my spirit for a lie that was so

Loving you was lost, it was a zero-sum game I walked through the water and I drowned in the flame

I didn't grow stronger, I just wasted away A shadow of something at the end of the day

It was robbery masked at a sentimental cost Loving you wasn't game

Loving you was lost

I look at the pictures and I don't see a wee I just see the wreckage of who I used to be

You were a thief with a smile on your face Cleaving out everything and leaving no trace

The vines in my garden are wavering and dark I'm begging for pieces that never came back

Take it all

You already did

Every secret I hid Nothing is mine, nothing is real I'm empty

I'm emptier than I can feel

Loving you was lost, it was a zero-sum game I walked through the water and I drowned in the flame

I didn't grow stronger, I just wasted away

It was robbery masked at a sentimental cost Loving you wasn't game

Loving you was lost

Subtraction of zero, less than zero
