[Verse 1]
I lie awake at night, dreaming of a time
Where I could say the pain was worth it
That I didn't deserve to be treated so unkind
You saw me crying on the fire escape
I locked your eyes, looked like your face was frozen
Like you didn't even notice me dying

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but even though you know I would stay
I'd risk my life for you
I'd twist that knife for you

[Chorus]
Love is death, love is dying
With every breath, cells dividing
I'm dying for you
I'm dying for you
Love is steel, a silver lining
With every tear multiplying
I'm crying for you
Yeah, I'm dying for you

[Verse 2]
Blood sacrifices made
It's everything it takes for me to keep from screaming
Like a rabbit out my sleeve, it's a miracle I'm still breathing
But I have no choice, it's like my voice is in a box
That's buried leagues and leagues below me
With only fishes for company
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but even though you know I would stay
I'd take my life for you
I'd twist that knife for you

[Chorus]
Love is death, love is dying
With every breath, cells dividing
I'm dying for you
I'm dying for you
Love is steel, a silver lining
With every tear multiplying
I'm crying for you
Yeah, I'm dying for you
Yeah, I'm dying for you

[Bridge]
I'd give my life for you
Twist that knife for you
It's all, all for you

[Chorus]
Love is death, love is dying
With every breath, cells dividing
I'm dying for you (I'm dying for you)
I'm dying for you (I'm dying for you)
Love is steel, a silver lining
With every tear multiplying
I'm crying for you (I'm crying for you)
Yeah, I'm dying for you
[Outro]
Can't you see I'm dying, dying?
Oh yeah
