The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You were light and I was death
You were light and I was death
Desperately creeping along
Tell a lie and break my neck
But the damage was all in your head
You were light and I was death.
Locked on a target and I'm moving along
There's a feeling I get when I'm headstrong
Oh, my love, don't push it like the way we used to do.
Even if you get far, don't go far without me
I'll never make it
Oh, my love, don't run, there's a feeling that you'll lose
Even if you get far, don't go far
Caught between, and hedging bets
There's a knot inside your chest
(but the damage was all in your head)
Tell a lie, and break my neck.
Locked on a target and I'm moving along
There's a feeling I get when I'm headstrong
Oh, my love, don't push it like the way we used to do.
Even if you get far, don't go far without me
I'll never make it
Oh, my love, don't run, there's a feeling that you'll lose
Even if you get far, don't go far
By the time a second's throught,
Help yourself along.
Cut down sideways.
Oh, my love, don't push it like the way we used to do.
Even if you get far, don't go far without me
I'll never make it
Oh, my love, one pull and I could split the world in two
Even if you get far, don't go far
Far without me, I'll never make it
