~~~
(Verse 1)
I refuse to let you go
I will not let you leave
Can't you see I need you
Far more than you could
Ever need me?

(Pre chorus)
Doesn't it feel like just yesterday
We were runnin' in Grandma's backyard
We were six years old and
Our only worry was being forced to go home

(Chorus)
I would rather swallow razor blades
Than see you cry
I'd rather have nails pounded into my joints
Than see you hurt
If you leave before I do
Look up at the moon
And say "I love you"

(Verse 2)
Promises lay like broken glass
You were gone too soon
Tears shining like dying stars on my cheeks
I didn't get to say goodbye to you

(Pre chorus)
Yesterday we were at the movies
Laughing at their stupid remarks
Now you're six feet under
And I'm all alone

(Chorus)
I would still swallow razor blades
Over seeing you cry
I would pour bleach in my eyes
Instead of letting you go
I would pound nails into my joints
To heal your pain
You left before I did
So every night I look up
And whisper "I love you" to the moon

(Bridge)
I watched the constellations change
From Scorpio to Leo to Aries to Capricorn
The stars shine like your eyes once did

(Chorus)
I would rather swallow razor blades
Than see you cry
I'd rather have nails pounded into my joints
Than see you hurt
If you leave before I do
Look up at the moon
And say "I love you
I would still swallow razor blades
Over seeing you cry
I would pour bleach in my eyes
Instead of letting you go
I would pound nails into my joints
To heal your pain
You left before I did
So every night I look up
And whisper "I love you" to the moon
