Just This Once

I miss you more than I will ever say out loud I thought maybe I'd get the chance But I'm sorry is all I have time to get out I know that you'd come to save her Even though it's a death wish I'm sorry that I wasn't braver But I'll gladly trade myself for you to live Just this once, I'll make the good choice I know we both won't make it out alive You're so stuck on self-sacrifice Just this once, I'll be the good guy Just this once, I'll do what's right If only this one good thing in my life You're worth this one sacrifice Just this once I'll be the good guy But images leak through the static Desperate blue sneaks through the green I swear I'm fighting it with everything I've got But when I fall you follow me The next time I open my eyes You're on your knees, I'm still alive But soon you're asked again To carry the weight of the world to the end But you're worth more than what you sacrifice So just this once, make a different choice Someone else can save the world this time You're so stuck on self-sacrifice Just this once, don't be the good guy But it's you that I've always loved So I'm not going anywhere tonight I'm staying with you and we'll play the good guy I don't want you to be noble You promised that you'd take me home, so Just this once Just this once You've never once given up Not even when I've pulled away But now I'm here and it's almost done So just this once Just this once You've never once given up Even from that very first day Edges rough, but it was always love So just this once Stay Stay, stay, stay, stay You turn to me, it's finally over You can keep your promise after all We're going home after all this time Shocked that we both made it out alive Now we get to tell a story That didn't just end with a hero's sacrifice It goes just this once I'll choose what I want And just this once I'll do the right thing And just this once I'll choose to save her And just this once I'll sacrifice Just this once I'll make my own choice And just this once I'll be the good guy
