Pacing up and down my mind
I can see the pain in your eyes
Lately I'm noticing the signs
You shut me out, your sacrifice
Succumbed to doubt and rationalized
And only now I realize just why
Oh why…
How can I get through to you?
This fantasized deluded truth
And I won't ever let you refuse
Acting oh so selfishly
What you'd think would come of me?
And all the ones you'd leave
Behind to grieve
Don't have to be alone
Carrying this on you own, no
Just think of the innocent left in your wake
No, you're making a fatal mistake
It's not your life to take
It's not your life to take
It's not your life to take
It's not your life to take
It's not your life to take
Deeper than anyone could know
You try to hide, you try not to show
You don't have to go through this alone
You'd throw away so recklessly
A valued life, intrinsically
And never know what you could truly be
So please…
How can I get through to you?
Not the only way to soothe
And I don't want to lose you too
Acting so determinant
Solution chosen permanent
For a temporary sickness
I pray it's true
Don't have to be alone
Carrying this on you own, no
Just think of the innocent left in your wake
No, you're making a fatal mistake
It's not your life to take
It's not your life to take
It's not your life to take
It's not your life to take
It's not your life to take
