Lyrics
short piano intro
verse
Purple-hued with the floor aglow
Enchanted by the thought
Of afterlife below
Your gravity pulls me down
The water is warm
So I wanna drown
break
verse
And I should've turned away
But she said she needed help
But you can't save those who want to sink
They'll only force you down deeper
chorus
But your heart
Was empty as mine
Your soul was dark
Your self was bruised
--
We're not good
We're not bad
--
We're just two broken people
Who cannot be mended
break
verse
If I'm gonna die tonight
I'd oughta do it right
--
Keep my head on my shoulders
And never let them see you cry
bridge
Before you sign the deal
You need to read the fine print
--
Before you sell your soul
You need to pay the piper
--
Before you take on the world
You need to be honest with yourself
chorus
But your heart
Was empty as mine
Your soul was dark
Your self was bruised
--
We're not good
We're not bad
--
We're just two broken people
Who cannot be mended
break
