Oh you know I did it It's over and I feel fine Nothing you could say is gonna change my mind Waiting and I wait at the longest night Nothing like the taste to sweet decline I was down, I fell, I fell so fast Dropping like the grains in an hourglass Never say forever 'cause nothing last Dancing with the thorns of my buried past Nevermind there's nothing I can do Bet your life there's something killing you It's a shame we have to die my dear No ones getting out of here, alive This time What a way to go, but have no fear No ones getting out of here, alive This time Finished, I'm getting you off my chest Made you come clean in a dirty dress A promise is a promise you kept in check Hard to cross a heart that beats this fast Take a good hard look for the very last time The very last one in a very long line Only took a second to say goodbye Been a pleasure, but the pleasure's been mine all mine Nevermind there's nothing I can do Bet your life there's something killing you It's a shame we have to die my dear No ones getting out of here, alive This time What a way to go, but have no fear No ones getting out of here, alive This time Ain't no way, DOA Ain't no way, DOA Take a good hard look for the very last time The very last one in a very long line Only took a second to say goodbye Been a pleasure, but the pleasure's been mine all mine Nevermind there's nothing I can do Bet your life there's something killing you It's a shame we have to die my dear No ones getting out of here, alive This time What a way to go, but have no fear No ones getting out of here, alive This time It's a shame we have to disappear No ones getting out of here, alive This time This time This time
