The Abyss

THE WEEKND

9

[Verse 1: The Weeknd]

I tried my best to not let you go

I don't like the view

From halfway down

Just promise me that it won't be slow

Will I feel the impact of the ground?

I tried to be something that I'll never be

Why waste another precious hour?

Why waste another precious ounce?

I'd rather leave somewhat of a legacy

Familiar

A thought that's so familiar

[Chorus: The Weeknd]

Let me close my eyes with dignity

Let's end it all, the world's not far behind

So what's the point of staying?

It's going up in flames, I know

Yes, I know, ooh

Oh-oh-oh

[Segue: Lana Del Rey]

Hey-hey

Oh-oh

(Hey)

[Verse 2: The Weeknd]

Just hold my heartbeat close to you

Remember how it always beats for you

I'm falling at the speed of light

I'm staring at your shrinking face, don't cry

You know my heart belongs to you

One last time, say that you want me too

The only words that gave me life

Now I'll see you on the other side

[Bridge: The Weeknd]

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Outro: Lana Del Rey & The Weeknd]

Oh, mama, I'll pray

I'm running away

Oh-oh

Hey-hey (Oh, no)

Oh-oh

Hey-hey

Is a threat not a promise? (Mmm)

If you're looking for rage (Mmm, oh)

If you're looking for ragin'

Quiet for days

Baby, running away

Ayy-yeah

It's a threat, not a promise

It's a threat, not a promise

Yeah-yeah

Ah-ha (Oh)

Ah-ha (Oh)

Ah-ha

Ah-ha

Mama, I'll pray

Mama, I'll pray
