And did you know how much I love you
Is a hope that somehow you you
Can save me from this darkness

I heard the piledriver waltz
It woke me up this morning

Now I’m breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

But they soon disappeared
I’m not sure where they’ve gone
They’re usually right here

Sing me to sleep
I’m tired and I
I want to go to bed

Haunted and fled

Oh, I can’t breathe
Because I, can’t breathe
Oh, come and help
Somebody help me out

There’s no one left
Between myself and me

When we both of us knew how the ending would be
