There's blood on our faces, there's bruises on our skin

I know your parents won't forgive me, but I hope that you'll forgive me

While she's kissing my ear she whispers that we should go

I wanna have her so much so much more than she could know

I wonder how cold the air feels as your face smashed through the windshield

She's never felt so cold, no she's never felt so cold

All I wanna do is hold her but I must act like I'm sober
