Over My Head

I never believed in love at first glance
but for you, I gave it a chance
Sniper steady your gun, aim carefully
Do your very best not to miss me
Pull me under, drag me deeper
Deeper underground, I'm six feet under
I closed my eyes, prayed for an escape
because I couldn't bear to watch you walk away

Standing at the edge of this cliff
I take a deep breath before diving in
and as the waves crash around me
I fight and I struggle, it gets harder to breathe
I can't keep fighting the tide
I can't keep my feelings on the inside
It looks like I'm in over my head
and I find myself drowning in the pain

The road keeps winding in front of me
and when the headlights blind me
my hands let go of the wheel
The crashing of metal drown out my screams
I can't find the will to move
so I slowly let my eyes close
Before everything fades to black
I wish you were there to take my hand

Heart racing, my nerves are shot
My fingers open and the match falls
The spark keeps working its way higher
leaving a trail of destruction behind it
I can't keep fighting the fire
I can't keep my cries on the inside
It looks like I'm in over my head
and I find myself dying in the pain

There's not a cure for the sickness inside me
There's not a way to banish the demon inside me
Put me out when I'm on fire
Pull me up when I'm buried alive
Memories keep flashing, leaving me blinded
The silence between us is deafening
It doesn't matter who is at fault here
Just lay me soul to rest in peace

I wouldn't be asking for your help
if I had the strength to save myself
and because you're the one killing me
please quickly end all of my suffering
The trail will grow colder behind me
I'll die with your buried memories
It looks like I'm in over my head
but I'm just dying in the pain
