I see nothing in your eyes And the more I see the less I like Is it over yet In my head I know nothing of your kind And I won't reveal your evil mind Is it over yet I can't wait So sacrifice yourself And let me have whats left I know that I can find The fire in your eyes I'm going all the way Get away You take the breath right out of me You left a hole where my heart should be You gotta fight just to make it through 'Cause I'll be the death of you This will be all over soon Pour salt into the open wound Is it over yet Let me in So sacrifice yourself And let me have whats left I know that I can find The fire in your eyes I'm going all the way Get away You take the breath right out of me You left a hole where my heart should be You gotta fight just to make it through 'Cause I'll be the death of you I'm waiting I'm hating Realize Start hiding You take the breath right out of me You left a hole where my heart should be You gotta fight just to make it through 'Cause I'll be the death of you
