By then I'd had enough
I couldn't stand to watch you die
So I died first, that's how I survived
Now I can't feel the ground tremble beneath my feet
And I won't make a sound while
This town crumbles into the sea
It's been years, even after all this time
I'm still here there's simply nothing inside
When I held your head and whispered into you ear
"It's okay to leave now, there's nothing left for you here."
I knew I had nothing left to fear
It's not hard to keep it inside
A feeling so hard to describe
I don't know if that's okay
I'm gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway
Yeah it hurt, it's almost something else now
I cried so much I thought I might drown
I'm out of tears, I'll make no concessions
Through all these years I've learned a lesson
Every thing I love will die
In due time
