On a Sunday near September where you woke surprised to remember how the light attaches to a change of heart
Sometimes we have a change of heart

What was simple never questioned the kind that I don't live my best in and the ghost of me will keep us far apart
It was simple, I never questioned it. But now my ghost will keep us apart

And you know you don't deserve this, and I don't know how to word this
You don't deserve what's about to come, I don't know how to word it

Before you go, before you go, I just wanted you to know that I would, that I would, I would love you if I could
I'd love you if I could but I can't anymore

But my unsteady hearts not ready and you would only get what's left of me, only this, only this is gonna be the death of me, it's gonna be the death of me
My heart is broken, if I love you I won't make it

It's gonna be, I would give you anything if I had anything to give left. But the phantoms here will never have to feel.
I don't have anything to give you, my mind says I'm numb

I would tell you I don't miss her, cries of love reduced to a whisper. But the truth is that her ghost it haunts me still
I can say I don't love you, but I always will. Your memory will forever be stuck in my head

And you know you don't deserve this, and I don't know how to word this
I can't take back what I'm about to do, you don't deserve it. I just need to find a way to word it

Before you go, before you go, I just wanted you to know, that I would, that I would, I would love you if I could
Before you go, know this. I would love you if I could...

But my unsteady hearts not ready and you would only get what's left of me, only this, only this is gonna be the death of me, it's gonna be the death of me
I'm not ready to love you again... It would be the death of me...

I forgotten how it feel to have my head over my heels, I don't wanna walk away but it's not far to let you stay. I fall apart beyond a kiss, I cast away up in your lips
I forgot how it felt to love you. I don't wanna walk away but I can't let you stay with me...

Only this, only this is gonna be the death of me, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be the death of me. Gonna be, gonna be, gonna be the death of me
It's gonna be the death of me, I'm sorry...
