One two three four
you counted me into this dream
but then you feel asleep
i watched you as you breathed
up and down
breathe in breathe out
i never wanted to wake you up
i could never ever tell you we could never be
not when you looked so beautiful
i'll leave this song on
please don't change it
it'll tell you all the things i couldn't
it's reached the first chorus
a minute and fifteen seconds is all i need to pull you in
with my pretty words and useless chords
there's so much left to say
i wanted to wrap you in my arms
never let you go
hold you so tight our heartbeats became one
two one two one two
faster then slower now
i wanted to be the blood in your veins
the reason you lived
the reason you couldn't survive without me
my head was on your chest
every word i wish i could say
would echo in the spaces between your ribs
my empty phrases were never so magnified
it only made me cry
and please don't change that song
its only on the third verse
i'm not done explaining yet
i whispered in your ear
brushed your hair away so you could hear
i wanted to be your everything
my intentions burned up in the execution
the ashes mean nothing now
we would have been so perfect
i'll miss your heartbeat
faster then slower now
i'll have to speed it up
i loved you so much
breathe in breathe out
but my closet door is still open
where the skeletons still hide
their bony fingers are what made me sing
keep this tune locked away in your ears
pretty words and useless chords forever buried
faster then slower now
the last note will echo where our hearts used to beat together
slower now
