Lyrical Paradox | ✔

I'd Rather Die

I'd rather die than watch you fall for her,

The way you look at her with those

Beautiful eyes of yours.

The way you stand by her side

Like you never want to leave.

I'd rather die than listen to your voice,

As you sing her a lullaby to sleep.

How every single word of it

Drowns me in this ocean so deep.

I'd rather die than see your smile,

Not the cause of my existence.

That I am just a nobody in your life

And now I'm falling to pieces.

I'd rather die than be just your friend,

Whom you call at night to tell stories

About her and her alone.

I always wish I was her.

I'd rather die than be an audience,

As you tell each other your vows.

As you sealed your love with a kiss,

And how I died a thousand times

Whenever I'm with you.

I'd rather die without a trace

Left for you to cry.

As you hear out my love for you

From my friends, without me by your side.

I'd rather die than force you to

Love me back and fix my heart

That is now just a pile of ash,

Just like my love for you.

I'd rather die than dream of you and me,

Living our own infinity.

That's how I'd rather die for you.
