lyrics

With this blade against my wrist,
I wonder what it is
I wonder what it is to bleed
And I bleed without a sound
As I press the metal down
Feel the tingle in my fingers,
Is this for real?

Each drop of blood that spills for you
Is my awaking serenade to you
My reward is knowing you will live to fight another day for...

With this fist against my chest,
I pledge my dying breath
I pledge that I would bleed for you
And the blood is dripping down
From my knuckles to the ground,
I raise my fist into the air
'Cause this is for real.

This game is over
I'm feeling sober and I'm running out
These veins are open
And all I have is slowly spilling out...

And all my memories are shattering
Just like better days that fade away
All my memories are shattering
Just like better days...

I hold onto you,
Like holding onto better days
I hold onto you,
Like holding onto better days
Better days

With your face against my chest
And my hands around your hips
We celebrate our last embrace
And no more sad goodbyes,
So dry your bloodshot eyes
And remember that December
When we were young
And everything was new
Yeah we've had some better days

And all my memories are shattering
Just like better days that fade away
All my memories are shattering
Just like better days...

I hold onto you,
Like holding onto better days
I hold onto you,
Like holding onto better days
Better days.

I hold onto you,
Like holding onto better days
I hold onto you,
Like holding onto better days
Better days.
