last words

promise me we won't go to sleep with this poison on our lips

let's take a breath while there's something left

and there's love left to give

let's don't let our last words be the bad words

we know we'll still hurt tomorrow

we can't let this cruel wall be our downfall

a prideful pill we can't swallow

you know me well enough to tear the soul right out of me

and i know how to turn you inside out so please before we speak

leave it all unsaid

leave this war outside our bed

lay down our heads and dream instead
