[Verse 1]
Do you think about dying?
I wanna know what you would say
And would you tell me if you're lying?
I couldn't stop you anyway
We've been watching different movies
And I've been talking to myself
I’d like to think that you knew me
Better than anybody else
[Chorus]
I know you're probably standing there
Wishing that I wasn't here
You know I’d follow you anywhere
So do you honestly believe
That I would let you disappear?
[Verse 2]
I've been sleeping with the lights on
And I've been standing at the door
You were so easy to hide from
But I don't do that anymore
And I fixed up all the broken things
And I've been carefully content
Pretty soon I'm gonna say something
That I’ll eventually regret
[Chorus]
I know you're probably standing there
Too far to fall off the edge
I would've followed you anywhere
Cause if I loved you at the start then I would love you at the end
