It's not your fault that for years I've daydreamed in tragedy and eulogy
But this is a declaration of friendship and a document of my fears
All of my words add up to nothing, it's your broken heart that you have to live with
I can no more convince you to stay alive then I could take the sadness from your eyes or a gun from your hand
And so if this is the last time that we part, let us part well
God knows I've given you enough sermons over the years
But give me a reason why I should go it alone
When it's partly your fault that I've come to depend on you
All my words are sharpened with sorrow
Believing you'll be gone tomorrow
It's the rattle and crawl of loneliness inside that keeps me staying, keeps me pleading
It's a sellout and a hollow death, but it's your life and choice to make
I'm pointing fingers and calling you selfish, but realizing I am selfish too
The graveyards are littered with those I love, and I don't want to lose anymore
And so if this is the last time that we part, let us part well
God knows I've given you enough sermons over the years
But give me a reason why I should go it alone
When it's partly your fault that I've come to depend on you
All my words are sharpened with sorrow
Believing you'll be gone tomorrow
I'm just scared, I'm just scared
I don't want to live without you
