lyrics

You've got a porcelain face and fragile heart
I can't lie, I've loved you from the start
You've got eyes that shine through the dark
So lovely, I will tear apart

Break my fingers, snap my neck
Twist my legs and bound my hands
And throw me in the river
Just so I won't escape
The more I see, the less I feel
Faking smiles for you to steal
Drown myself in the river
Just to get away from you

Well, you've got a soul that shields scars
And a want for love that leaves you starved
You've got a voice that breaks my heart
So lovely that I will tear apart

Break my fingers, snap my neck
Twist my legs and bound my hands
And throw me in the river
Just so I won't escape
The more I see, the less I feel
Faking smiles for you to steal
Drown myself in the river
Just to get away from you

And the river is rising, its waters are cold
And it won't ever let me go
So fill my lungs with fragile air
And pray that I won't find you here

I'll tear you apart
I swear I'll tear you apart

(I'll tear you apart, please don't make me)
So drown me, so drown me
(We're gone as ghosts, we're gone as ghosts)
I swear I'll tear you apart
(I'll tear you apart, please don't make me)
So drown me, so drown me

(We're gone as ghosts, we're gone as ghosts)
I swear I...
I swear I...
