Pause the Tragic Ending
Draw me under, cut me open
Take my heart, I give it to you
Call the thunder and bring the storm
Hold me close, I beg of you
And pause the tragic ending
For just a moment more
Draw the dresser out
And slide it to the door
And burn the air out of the room
Close the curtain and kill the lights
Only seconds left to tell you
How I'll need you every night
And pause the tragic ending
For I'm almost out of breath
Whisper in my ear
Take a bite up on my neck
I'll give you blood
If that's what you need to stay alive
You'll be free and I will die
You've fallen down broken, no sense
No sense, hey, no sense, hey
You've fallen down broken, no sense
No sense, hey, no sense, hey
You've fallen down broken, no sense
No sense, hey, no sense
Throw the ashes out to sea
And God forbid you hurt her twice
Drink away the taste of me
And in the morning, pay the price
Oh, this tragic ending
Running out of things to say
Wash the sheets and clear your head, you'll be okay
But bury me deep down in every song you play
The tragic ending
A tragic ending
A tragic ending
Saves the day
