If you could
When love dies in the end
[Chorus]

Be undone
Come to life
It gets worse
All in all
You're no good
You don't cry
Like you should
I'll be gone
When you fall
Your sad life
Says it all
[Chorus]
(chorus chords)
So I'll find what lies beneath
Your sick twisted smile
As I lay underneath
Your cold jaded eyed
Now you turn the tide on me
'Cause you're so unkind
I will always be here
For the rest of my life
