“This is forever” was the promise made to me
And everything that you said, you said would set us free
But everything starts out fine even when it ends up wrong
And we’re left trying to stay strong
I just wanna die
Whenever I’m with you
My heart turns into stone
Yours does the same thing too
The shadows on the walls
They’ve got nothing to do
But watch us fall apart
And it’s all because of you
There was a time I told you I could be your friend
And I would stay right beside you ’till the bitter end
But somewhere along the line your fire’s light went out
And now I can say without a doubt
I just wanna die
Whenever I’m with you
My heart turns into stone
Yours does the same thing too
The shadows on the walls
They’ve got nothing to do
But watch us fall apart
And it’s all because of you
so we pretend because pretending’s all we do
And over my silent scream I smile and comfort you
You broke down my walls and left me out here in the cold
There’s nothing left but to get old
I just wanna die
Whenever I’m with you
My heart turns into stone
Yours does the same thing too
The shadows on the walls
They’ve got nothing to do
But watch us fall apart
And it’s all because of you
