[Verse 1]
I felt so cold in the end
October's coming again
Think I’ll probably die this time around
Lost myself in the past
Who knew that it wouldn't last?
We're not so innocent this time around
[Pre-Chorus]
Experiment, experience
We forgot to live this life for the fear of it
And I’m so bored, I hate this world
I don't believe a fuckin' thing that you just said
[Chorus]
This can't be real, I can't explain the way this feels
Please just tell me this is in my head
Once again, my lungs are caving in
The first thing I remember is the last thing that you said
Don't say
[Verse 2]
Woke up in the gutter, I've been worse
I'll pretend this doesn’t hurt
If I can get out of this bed, maybe I’ll be okay
I'd get you out that grave with a trade if I could
You asked me to stay and I said that I would
Never got to see who you could be
Now that you’re not there, where you should be
And your mom stopped taking family pictures
Put down all the family pets
And I haven't seen your sister
I can't handle that one yet
Five years, two months, and six days
I know, I said I would stay
I wish I'd said how much I loved you
But now it’s too late
[Chorus]
This can't be real, I can't explain the way this feels
Please just tell me this is in my head
Once again, my lungs are caving in
The first thing I remember is the last thing that you said
Don't say
[Outro]
He's not gone, he's not gone
He's not gone, he's not gone
He's not gone, he's not-
Please don't say
Please-
Please stop talking
