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.
If angels fall,
I don't know if I'll be any use at all
Alone we were, inseparable
you lied to me,
I didnt see it come,
And now I'm on my own
for the words that left your mouth were terminal
together we're unsuitable
I pray for thee, I pray for me.
Carry on wasting my time, yeah I'm wasted
if you wanna waste all my time, then I'm wasting away.
Why dont you murder me?
why dont you?
who's gonna run for you? who's gona run for you now?
We're not so strong
I never knew it any better til the fall
a friend I saw, he said today, you think too much,
yeah I'm tryna give it up
and still I cant press play
or find the words when there is nothing left to say
I dont request your sympathy
I thought of you, I think of me.
Carry on wasting my time, yeah I'm wasted
if you wanna waste all my time, then I'm wasting away.
Why dont you murder me?
why dont you?
who's gonna run for you? who's gona run for you now?
wasting away! wasting away! wasting away! wasting away! wasting away!
care for me, care for me, when the angels come (never gonna come.. don't stop)
care for me, care for me, when the angels come (never gonna come.. don't stop)
Calm...
