V1:
That was all I ever wanted.
You may only live once,
But I haven't lived at all.
I've only ever been haunted.
If you only die once,
Why haven't I died yet?
That was all I ever wanted.
I could be drowning forever
All I ever fucking wanted,
And you ripped it out of my hands.
Chorus:
I can't stand to watch you smile.
It's making me want to die.
I don't want to see you smile.
It's making me want to lie for you.
V2:
I can't believe that I tasted
Reality, I missed
All I could have lived for.
I can't believe that it came back
To me to say I missed
All that was in front of me.
That was all I ever hoped for.
I could be tearing forever
All the clothes I fucking wasted,
And you left the scars on my hands.
Chorus:
I can't stand to watch you smile.
It's making me want to die.
I don't want to see you smile.
It's making me want to lie.
Bridge:
Leave her alone.
She's just a child.
She'll never have a normal life.
She just wants a friend.
Leave her alone.
She's just a child.
She'll never have a friend.
She just wants a normal life.
Leave her alone.
She's just a child.
She'll never have a normal life.
She just wants a friend.
Leave her alone.
She's just a child.
She'll never have a friend.
She just wants a normal life.
That's all she ever wanted.
She will be drowning forever
All she ever fucking wanted,
And that child was me all along.
Chorus:
I can't stand to watch you smile.
It's making me want to die.
I don't want to see you smile.
It's making me want to lie.
But now that you're here,
I can't believe you're in trouble.
It's making me feel alive.
I want you to stay in trouble.
It's making me feel alive,
So fucking alive.
