lyrics

this is what i want to say before i make a mistake:
"my heart is heavy and my lungs will cause my words to decay".
i felt emotionless until my face revealed that i'm not.
you smiled sadly when you told me that i missed with the first shot.

you shed a tear for the sunset (i missed with the first shot).
i think you're better without me.

i heard it in my head
when you walked away and told me to forget.
you saw it in my face,
then you looked away and understood my mistake.

candle burning down,
my time is running out.
i'm learning to forget,
i shed a tear for the sunset.

save yourself and let me leave you behind.
save your breath but tell me this is what's right.
so tell me this is what's right.

you glanced and stared at the sunset.
i think you're better without me.

i heard it in my head
when you walked away and told me to forget.
you saw it in my face,
then you looked away and understood my mistake.

i never thought that it would come to an end.
unfair apologies i wish i'd never said.

i think you're better without me.

i heard it in my head
when you walked away and told me to forget.
you saw it in my face ,
then you looked away and understood my mistake.
