Lyrics
I'd rather you break my heart than I break yours
I'd rather experience heartbreak from you than be the cause of your pain.
Leave me be so I can rot in peace
Leave me alone so I can suffer in solitude.
You know where you'll find me if you ever change course
If you change your mind, you know where to find me.
Forever too afraid to move on in release
Stuck in fear, unable to move forward and let go.
Step carefully through the fabricated havoc in my mind
Navigate carefully through the chaos in my thoughts.
It's a minefield in here but I'm sure you'll be fine
Despite the challenges, the person is expected to handle the situation.
Cause I've been building a coffin and I've left a trail
Building emotional barriers, leaving a path of memories.
Of memories leading to the last nail
The memories lead to the final closure or separation.
All I need is your hammer and your hands so soft
Requesting emotional support to complete the closure.
Don't let me go when I finally drop
Asking not to be abandoned when finally letting go.
Slowly interlock your fingers in mine
A plea for a lasting and deep connection by holding hands.
I swear to you we'll last a lifetime
Expressing a desire for a long-lasting relationship.
Oh, please promise me we'll last a lifetime
Pleading for a commitment to endure a lifetime.
Take my hand, let me love you to death
Expressing intense love, willing to love until death.
Look into my eyes as if they're the last thing you'll see
Asking for a meaningful gaze, emphasizing the importance of the moment.
On this desolate earth you're all I have left
Stating that the person is the only significant connection in a desolate world.
No matter how much it hurts, please don't set me free
Despite the pain, requesting not to be set free.
A love like mine is hard to find
Acknowledging the rarity of the speaker's love.
My calloused hands and twisted mind
Highlighting flaws in the speaker's character, feeling undeserving.
Aren't worth a second of your time
Believing the speaker is not worth the other person's time.
Once you find yourself you'll leave me behind
Fearing abandonment once the other person finds themselves.
I remember when you looked into my eyes
Recalling a moment when the person expressed dependence.
And I said without you I'd be a nervous wreck
Admitting vulnerability and anxiety without the other person.
I sincerely hope we never say our goodbyes
Expressing a desire to avoid goodbyes and separation.
Cause I never want to wake up in someone else's bed
Preferring to wake up next to the person each day.
Oh won't you keep me safe in your bed?
Pleading for safety and security in the relationship.
Take my hand, don't let go
A call to hold hands tightly and not let go.
Oh won't you keep me safe in your bed?
Repetition of the plea for safety and security.
Cause these nights are hard to get through
Expressing the difficulty of facing nights without the person.
And I don't know where I'd be without you
Emphasizing the importance of the other person in the speaker's life.
Interlock your fingers in mine
Repeating the act of interlocking fingers as a symbol of unity.
I swear to you we'll last a lifetime
Reiterating the desire for a lasting commitment.
Take my hand, let me love you to death
Repeating the plea to be loved intensely until death.
Look into my eyes as if they're the last thing you'll see
Reiterating the importance of eye contact in the relationship.
On this desolate earth you're all I have left
Reaffirming the person's significance in a desolate world.
No matter how much it hurts, please don't set me free
Pleading not to be set free, regardless of the pain.
