Dying In Your Arms

You breathe me in like borrowed time
Hands on skin, hearts out of line
Your touch feels holy, but it burns
I never listen. I never learn

Every kiss another lie
That I pretend is justified
You pull me close, I close my eyes
And let another part of me die

Tell me this isn't real
Tell me I'm not the wound you heal
But every whisper sounds like fate
And every breath comes far too late

As I'm here dying in your arms
Wrapped in wreckage, soft and warm
You say you'll save me from the fall
But you were always part of it all
I'm bleeding slow, you don't let go
You smile like this is beautiful
And I surrender to the harm
As I'm here dying in your arms

You trace apologies like lines
Across my ribs, across my spine
Say you're sorry, say you care
But your love's a cross I choose to bear

You never stay, but never leave
You take just what you need from me
But even now, I'd let you in
Just to feel you underneath my skin

If this is love, then let it kill
Your silence haunts, your eyes are still
I'll be the grave you sleep inside
If it means I get one more night

As I'm here dying in your arms
Where hurt and heaven fall apart
You break me gently, piece by piece
But I still beg you not to leave
My lungs collapse beneath your name
And I don't try to breathe again
Just hold me closer to the harm
As I'm here dying in your arms

And if this is how it ends
I'd still choose you again
