You're not the same as I am
Just a pretty face in the crowd
The situation at hand has got me sick to my stomach
Yeah, I don't deserve this now
You're better off pushing daisies than
Spending life with a fucking hopeless man

One day I'll find someone like me who fucking thrives on apathy
I'm a slave to your anatomy
This time I can't recall your voice
I'm dead inside and I'm not perfect
You're better off alone

Pretend we never stopped pretending
I'll hold you while the world is ending, it's ending
And I don't have a fighting chance

One day I'll find someone like me who fucking thrives on apathy
These tangerine walls and celestial halls
They scream like hell and the neighbours can tell
My butane screams from the static screen
Create a poisonous mind and a miserable life

You can choke on fear or let it become you
I sleep all day even though I don't want to
And I know I can't complain
I tell myself that I'm okay
I'd rather throw it all away
I wish you'd just say my name, just say my name
Pretend we never stopped pretending
I'll hold you while the world is ending, it's ending
It's killing me

Pretend we never stopped pretending
I'll hold you while the world is ending, it's ending
It's killing me and I don't have a fighting chance

Even though you're gone I know you're counting stars
I think I'm giving up

Pretend we never stopped pretending
I'll hold you while the world is ending, it's ending

Leather-bound bombshell lying on my bedroom floor commanding
To turn your pages one more time
I still can't find the meaning
The future isn't what it used to be and I can't complain
I find more comfort in knowing that nothing is ever as it seems
Givng up humanity for the only one who thought of me
My dying dear, my dying dear, my dying dear, my dying dear

Pretend we never stopped pretending
I'll hold you while the world is ending, it's ending
My dying dear
