Life Do Us Part

from Bloodstains by Down In Autumn

/

lyrics

Jumped on the ride, caught a lifeline speeding by,
Fell from the ferris wheel, I’m trying not to die,
Round and round and round ‘cause the rhythm calms you down,
On and on and on, ’till you’re flung across the ground.

Is it ok that I need you?
It’s ok, I’m leaving soon.

Carving out time, climbing in to stay a while,
Sunk into the sand, as it buried all our plans,
Up and down and up, like an alcoholic’s cup,
Down and up and down, like a victim screaming out.

Is it ok if I think this?
It’s ok, it’s leaving soon.

Together ’till life do us part,
Forever is doomed from the start,
No matter, ‘cause everything ends,
It’s better, it’s better than just pretending.

Eventually this will take everything from me,
A waste of everything I ever said I wouldn’t be,
A new beginning of a film stuck on pause,
The outro of a song you can’t remember, after all.

Final words were heard, now you’re barely even there,
Sense of losing hope, comes for you when you’re alone,
Time and time again, always circling the drain,
Days and days and days, watch them all get washed away.

Is it ok that I need you?
It’s ok, it’s what it is.
Is it ok to not believe you?
It’s ok, I never did.

Together ’till life do us part,
Forever is doomed from the start,
No matter, ’cause everything ends,
It’s better, it’s better than just pretending.
