Pulling splinters from the chapel door
[Chorus]
And do you see me anymore?
Oh, how far do you think I can go beneath
Before you won't follow down
To the center of a black hole?
A ruined sinner and a wasted soul
[Outro]
And I want you
I wanna let you break my heart
I wanna let you break my heart
I wanna let you break my heart
And I wanna let you break me
