Only a few seconds from now. Is this what it's like to be alive? I reach the point of no return and I don't know if I've been burned from the burned bridges in my life. You're thinking you were wrong and I was right, maybe I'm messed up. Either way to lay for us because baby I'm a little bit better. But if you're bad when she and I could hold you and just forget it. I'll just be home and hold sick when she give a mind and I didn't want you like I did.

It goes back to when we had a chance when she and I can have a shot and we were met. So we realized all things we could have heard, but in your cold hands. I'm a fool who's dead, I'm a fool who's dead, oh yeah I'm a fool who's dead, oh yeah I'm a fool who's dead, oh yeah. I can't believe this is what it's like to fantasize about love and never was. A lie about side by mind or distance with time.

I clearly lost my sight, thinking I was home or ever leave your sight, but time is a hostage change. I think the thing we were loved and now I'm old with the girl. But she and I can hold you and just forget it. I'll just be home and hold sick when she give a mind and I didn't want you like I did. It goes back to when we had a chance when she and I can have a shot and we were met. So I realized all things we could have heard, but in your cold hands. I'm a fool who's dead, oh yeah I'm a fool who's dead, oh yeah I'm a fool who's dead, oh yeah I'm a fool who's dead, oh yeah I'm a fool who's dead, oh yeah I'm a fool who's dead, oh yeah I'm a fool who's dead, oh yeah I'm a fool who's dead, oh yeah.
