I guess I could have sent a letter from the road,
 with words that always meant more than updates on the phone.
 The signal's fading fast and the ink [bad word] out.
 The words look good in pen, but sound better from my mouth.

 Please hold me tightly, I don't care if I can breathe tonight.
 Forget these lungs, their jealousy
 I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
 Leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
 Forget these lungs, their jealousy 
 I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind

 Behind your back, talking like knives
 And I can hardly breathe.
 Sharpen your tongue the rest of your life,
 like I cannot believe anything that you say.

 Please hold me tightly, I don't care if I can breathe tonight.
 Forget these lungs, their jealousy
 I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
 Leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
 Forget these lungs, their jealousy 
 I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind

 So you're the fire and I'm the water.
 I am the balance and you are the color.
 I won't forget you when we're not together.
 This is the ending, here's my surrender.
