Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You said, "It's not you, it's me"
With a revolver in my teeth
But you turned away instead
Threw the gun upon the bed
And we left in separate cars
You told me to pretend
I could taste life on the air
Despite the absence of an end
[Verse 2]
When you're lyin' in your deathbed
I hope I appear in your head
Baby, I'll be dead by then
I've burned out at twenty-seven
After years of drink and dance
And wild well-publicized romances
Oh, you should've killed me when you had the chance
[Verse 3]
It lingers like a dream
It lingers like a dream
All my well thought through retorts
All my last life movie scenes
Just one thing before I go (My love, oh-oh)
One more thing before I leave
Failed assassin you should know (Uh-huh, so cold)
One more trick inside my sleeve
[Verse 4]
When you're lyin' in your deathbed
I hope I appear in your head
Baby, I'll be dead by then
I've burned out at twenty-seven
After years of drink and dance
And wild well-publicized romances
Oh, you should've killed me when you had the chance
You really should've killed me when you had the chance
[Verse 5]
My heart is still beatin'
But it feels like an elevator trapped between floors
My lungs are still breathin'
Like the airbags in the crashing of an empty car
My heart is still beatin'
But it feels like an elevator trapped between floors
My lungs are still breathin'
Like the airbags in the crashing of an empty car
[Verse 6]
When you live to see your name
Published in my scathing memoirs
And you'll live to rue the failure of not
Crushing all of my heart
Why don't you come back and finish off the job?
