oh i first met Death when we kissed
i'd give up all infinity for those lips
thinking 'oh my god, i'm gonna die alone'
stare straight ahead but nobody's home
and i'm walking away, you don't got me to stay
and i'm walking away, you don't got me to stay
and i'm walking away, you don't got me to stay
you don't got me to stay, you don't got me to...
i'm not quick to blame
i'm not holding back
said i didn't know what i wanted
head for the middle of black
i wanna leave a scar
i wanna leave you mad
darlin' i'm a heart attack
oh i next met Death when we missed
eternity's a small price for this
singing 'oh my god, i'm dying alone'
stare straight at the sun but nobody's home
and i'm walking away, you don't got me to stay
and i'm walking away, you don't got me to stay
and i'm walking away, you don't got me to stay
you don't got me to stay, you don't got me to...
and they're chasing ghosts
and i'm bleeding rats
i wanna keep what i know
and have you feel that time has passed
i wanna leave a scar
i wanna leave you mad
darlin' i'm a heart attack
