Love Is Death

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
