every time you look at me i'm overthrown by gravity pulling me down 
is it trying to bury me, bring on my early death or hold me safely to the ground? 
every word you said to me is carved into my memory like words on a gravestone 
i let my heart build a monument and dedicate it to you without realizing i'd made it into my home 

what goes [bad word] back around 
and it's [bad word] back to me 
i didn't know how to love someone who needed the ocean 
when all i had was the sea 
if i could explain i'm sure you'd understand 
but you never listen to me 
i'm standing trial against everyone i've ever loved 
and they've all found me guilty 
if i let you destroy me will you finally feel free? 

you called me again in the middle of the night 
to tell me you found god in the centre of the eyes 
of a pretty girl who never cries the way i did every day 
now the sun puts on a show, she's taking off her clothes 
but the moon just says goodnight 
and so it goes with you and i and all our starry-eyed fantasies, washed away 
as the trees all shed their leaves, seasons change and so do we 
as we burn away our fears 
with ink stains on our hands from all the eulogies we read 
shaking hands, make us bleed 

you are bitter wind 
against my freezing skin 
the reason i stay in on these cold october days 
you're the breath that i inhale 
while i write these words 
wishing there was something i could say 
i know i fall to pieces every time you touch me 
but i really want you to stay 
my funeral boy, body like a coffin 
laying in an empty grave 

i tried to write about the end of the world 
but i wrote about you instead 
your breath is the saddest song i've ever heard 
and i can't get it out of my head
