[Verse 1]
Running out of answers
Burning through September
You were fire in the driveway last night
Saw it in your blue eyes

But I can’t seem to say it to your face
And I know it’s not wrong to leave you to the dogs
But I can’t watch ’em tear into your skin
[Verse 2]

And I know it’s not wrong to leave you to the dogs
But I can’t watch ’еm tear into your skin
[Outro]
Your blood is running through me
Bleed until you lose me
I can’t ever lose you from my head
