Do I give you a false sense of security? A broken shield, what a pity I wrote it down so you'll never forget So when I'm not there you can always read it What if I was always around? Would I still let you down? What if I could be everywhere at once? Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here It's a long way home, you know I can't part the sea When I leave, I leave all that matters to me Marbled eyes, just like your mother Without the demons that wrestle your father I never wanted it to feel like I choose this over you (Choose this over you) Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here I can almost feel your hands, you know I can't part the sea When I leave, I leave all that matters to me Close your eyes and I'll close mine Imagine we're in the same place at the same time Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here I can almost feel your hands, but I can't part the sea When I leave, I leave all that matters to me And it feels like a knife in my side Nothing changes when I close my eyes I'll just keep telling myself: Just one more breath It's a long way back and I can't part the sea When I leave, I leave all that matters to me What if I was always around? Would I still let you down? What if I could be everywhere at once?
