[Verse 1]
Can we make a pact?
If one of us dies, then the other one will too
'Cause I can’t stand living in this world without you
Love is worth the risk
Without you, my life would be worthless
I’d follow you into the abyss
[Chorus]
When you leave this Earth, there'll be a hole in the place where
My heart used to beat, it will be empty
How the fuck am I supposed to care
About what’s happening out there?
How the hell am I supposed to get used to all this death?
[Verse 2]
I wish I could forget
But no matter what, I know how it ends
I swear I’ll start drinking again
I wish I could pretend
That we'll hold each other close in heaven
But I lost my faith when I was seven
[Chorus]
When you leave this Earth, there'll be a hole in the place where
My heart used to beat, it will be empty
How the fuck am I supposed to care
About what’s happening out there?
How the hell am I supposed to get used to all this death?
[Bridge]
Oh, the walls we build to keep our hearts from crumbling
I am not afraid of death
I am afraid of being left alone again
[Chorus]
When you leave this Earth, there'll be a hole in the place where
My heart used to beat, it will be empty
How the fuck am I supposed to care
About what’s happening out there?
How the hell am I supposed to get used to all this death?
