[Intro] I thought the silence was the end. But then the rhythm came back. Slowly. Beat by beat. [Verse] I always cry when the song ends Sayin' goodbye to my old friends Runnin' through life with a low tread One too many nights in a hospital bed Looking for a spark in the static Searching for a soul in the attic Counting all the scars that I've collected Waking up alone and unexpected And I can't believe I'm not dead [Chorus] I always cry when the song ends Runnin' through life with a low tread Sayin' goodbye to my old friends One too many nights in a hospital bed And I can't believe I'm not dead Yeah, I can’t believe I’m still here Wiping off the salt and the fear Loving you, loving me It’s the only way to be free [Verse 2] In between the sleepin' and the dreams In between the nightmares and the screams A twisted double helix of me Loving you and loving me It wasn't easy It wasn't easy Building up a heart out of wreckage Trying to decipher the message Tracing every line on my skin Finding where the "us" should begin [Bridge] The monitors hum a lonely tune Underneath a pale and hollow moon White sheets, cold hands, heavy chest Put the ghosts of the past to rest I’m breathing in, I’m breathing out Silencing the ghost of the doubt It’s a war, it’s a dance, it’s a flood I’ve got your name written in my blood [Chorus] In between the sleepin' and the dreams In between the nightmares and the screams A twisted double helix of me Loving you and loving me It wasn't easy It wasn't easy I always cry when the song ends But I’m finally making amends [Verse 3] Shadows dancing on the sterile walls Echoes fading down the empty halls I used to pray for the lights to fade But look at the progress we’ve made From the IV drip to the sunlight From the darkest depth to the height It’s a miracle of biology A messy, beautiful apology [Outro] Loving you Loving me A twisted double helix Finally free I can’t believe I’m not dead I’m just living instead (It wasn't easy) (It wasn't easy) But we're here.
