[Verse 1]
Another day, another full seizure
Another pill, you spiral down deeper
Another cut by a surgical butcher
It's just a way of prolonging the torture
[Bridge]
I won't say I don't know what I'm doing
I won't say that I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
[Chorus]
I can't bring you back
I can't leave you helpless (helpless)
I'll make the pain rest in peace (rest in peace)
I'll turn off the lights
And swallow your last breath (last breath)
So close your eyes, fall asleep (close your eyes)
[Refrain]
I'll never hurt you (hurt you)
I'll never hurt you (hurt you)
[Verse 2]
The sun shines on this deadly new morning
The church bells ring an early warning
Your eyes shine as I turn on the motor
The tears fall as the mercy gets closer
[Bridge]
I won't say I don't know what I'm doing
I won't say that I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
[Chorus]
I can't bring you back
I can't leave you helpless (helpless)
I'll make the pain rest in peace (rest in peace)
I'll turn off the lights
And swallow your last breath (last breath)
So close your eyes, fall asleep (close your eyes)
[Refrain]
I'll never hurt you (hurt you)
I'll never hurt you (hurt you)
[Solo]
[Chorus]
I can't bring you back
I can't leave you helpless (helpless)
I'll make the pain rest in peace (rest in peace)
I'll turn off the lights
And swallow your last breath (last breath)
So close your eyes, fall asleep (close your eyes)
[Refrain]
I'll never hurt you (hurt you)
I'll never hurt you (hurt you)
