Past midnight, breathing in the dark
Same strange friend comes to visit
Never intend to open the door
You take it to places that no one's ever been
You let it, you let it, your insides caving in
You pushed and pulled, still wanting some more
This time, I've gone all the way
Without you
There's nothing more I can say
So maybe I took a little too much
Maybe life didn't want this part of me
If it helps to know, I never let you go
Sure, I lost my mind
But I never really meant to die
Last heartbeat's fading in the night
Only expecting darkness
Surprised to wake and follow the light
The second you let it become a part of you
You'll never forget it, no matter what you do
You lost it all, still wanting some more
This time, I've gone all the way
Without you
There's nothing more I can say
So maybe I took a little too much
Maybe life didn't want this part of me
It it helps to know, I never let you go
I'm sorry that I lost my mind
So baby, I took a little too much
Maybe you sucked the life right out of me
I should have let you know I never meant to go
Sure, I lost my mind
But I never really meant to die
Never stay forever
Never stay forever
Come on
Never stay forever
Never stay forever
Come on
So maybe I took a little too much
Maybe life didn't want this part of me
It it helps to know, I never let you go
I'm sorry that I lost my mind
So baby, I took a little too much
Maybe you sucked the life right out of me
I should have let you know I never meant to go
Sure, I lost my mind
But I never really meant to die
