[Verse 1]
You were shot in the back for our sins
Ones that we failed to ever commit
They'd surely turn us in at the hospital
And it'd be off to the gallows we'd go

[Pre-Chorus]
So I will carry you forever if you just keep breathing

[Chorus]
Oh, don't you know I will never let you go
Oh, don't you know I will never let you, never let you go

[Verse 2]
There's nowhere to hide, it's all sand (So much distance)
And only one friend who would take us in
But he's a whole day's walk away
And my arms just can't manage the weight

[Pre-Chorus]
So I will lay with you forever if you just keep breathing

[Chorus]
Oh, don't you know I will never let you go
Oh, don't you know I will never let you, never let you
We can't afford love, they're already coming for us, for us
[Bridge]
Our love is something they can never take from us
Just keep breathing, I promise
Your death is not in vain my love, it's death to them
God knows how much time is left
So as you take your final breath
Think about the way we used to dance
Oh, I can see it now

[Chorus]
Oh, don't you know I will never let you go
Oh, don't you know I will never let you, never, never
We can't afford love, they already took her from us, from us
Yeah
