The Pain That Kills You Too

Come a little bit closer and whisper in my ear

What you never wanted anybody else to hear

And I really tried to focus, but now I drifted away again

For a moment I was clear, but you had gone

And I try to try harder

And I breathe underwater

Well, I know it was easier when we were nameless, but awake

I wish I could have followed when you ran away with me

Never felt so hollow, I never thought that this is me

So I try to try harder

And I breathe underwater

And I know you can feel it too

The meagre hope will suck me dry

I never wanted to be the pain that kills you too

I never wanted you to feign we’re in the queue

I never wanted to be your sole apology

I never wanted you to take control from me

If I would even bother, if I would even truly care

I could have chosen other ways

But I had nothing left to share

So I try to try harder

And I breathe underwater

I don’t know if you feel it too

I don’t think you ever knew
