I held death's hand this evening

Can't keep my heart from beating

Can't keep my throat from screaming

There has to be another way for me to keep on living

I held death's hand this evening

Closed my eyes now I'm dreaming

I promise I won't leave here

Don't let me die I'm fucking screaming

'Cause I've got more life left to live

To all the hearts that carried me

I've had to do some searching to understand our reasons

For every selfish feeling

Now my lungs are failing

And my heart is fading

My mind is taking me

So far away I'm dreaming

For every selfish reason

I kept the bottles rolling

I poured my heart out

To stop you from leaving

I held death's hand this evening

Closed my eyes now I'm dreaming

I promise I won't leave here

Don't let me die I'm fucking screaming

'Cause I've got more life left to live got some promises to keep

To all the hearts that carried me up from the ocean deep

I've had to do some searching to understand our reasons

For every selfish feeling I held death's hand this evening

You're the ones that kept me going

I owe you this much

You gave me the strength to say

"Hey, Death, get fucked!

Now my lungs are failing

And my heart is fading

My mind is taking me

So far away I'm dreaming

Now my lungs are failing

And my heart is fading

My mind is taking me
