I guess I could have sent a letter from the road
With words that always meant more than updates on the phone
The signal's fading fast and the ink is running out
The words look good in pen, but sound better from my mouth
Please hold me tightly, I don't care if I can breathe tonight
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
Leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind
Behind your back, talking like knives
And I can hardly breathe
Sharpen your tongue the rest of your life
Like I cannot believe anything that you say
Please hold me tightly, I don't care if I can breathe tonight
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
Leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind
So you're the fire and I'm the water
I am the balance and you are the color
I won't forget you when we're not together
This is the ending, here's my surrender
So you're the fire, I am the water
I am the balance, you are the color
I won't forget you when we're not together
This is the ending, here's my surrender
Please hold me tightly, I don't care if I can breathe tonight
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
Leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
I'm burning out, but I can't leave
