What If

It starts with anything A glance thrown out across the room I'd give you everything The stars align it's just for you Saw the seat across And I fall and stumble Choking on my breath As I start to mumble Laughing at my acts You start to fall too I start to lose it I couldn't choose it So risk it all to play it safe Keep your heart at the edge of a blade Bet your life on this twisted game Let your soul go down in flames If it means that much to you I won't try to change your point of view Let yourself succumb to self destruction A false pretense thoughts are leaving Wind in the room as my pulse slows its beating Piercing in my ears Oh my god are they bleeding? Stop this nonsense I thought we stopped this Alligator tears you try to fluster Pain in my neck makes my heart start to flutter Feel your voice at night when you start to mutter I couldn't choose it I start to lose it All won't play it safe Swear our luck goes down in spades I bet our life won't ever drain A force in bursting flames And it means so much to you That I try to see your point of view We let ourselves suffer for nothing It's just poetic justice I thought you'd know where this would go Couldn't expect a straight answer Drifting apart and numb from the start Didn't expect I'd see that glance though This was something I didn't do Don't know how to get it through to you Didn't do this for nothing Despite it all you stayed the same Forged your name on the end of the blade I bet my life on this twisted game Let my soul go down in flames Didn't mean that much to me Through my selfishness it set me free I let myself succumb to reduction Of all the pain and all the gains I could have fostered And all the sights and all the lights I could have lust for
