High Noon/Postlude

I couldn't dodge a bullet
So this is all that I have left
A few bleeding wounds in my chest
My last ten seconds of breath
And now that the clip's run out
There's nothing to talk about
You pulled the trigger
So I figured
I was through
This isn't what I meant
When I said I would die for you

My first instinct was to run
But you held me down
And I stayed there without a fight
An eager heart
A restless time
But what's the point of forgiveness
If you won't change your mind
And what good are apologies
If you never change your side

I'd be easier to think
That the blame belongs to you
But I know that isn't true
There's so much more to do
And the odds were against me
From the start
And on the monitor
My vital signs
They began to flatline
And they ran for the AED
I told them there was no need

My first instinct was to run
But you held me down
And I stayed there without a fight
An eager heart
A restless time
But what's the point of forgiveness
If you won't change your mind
And what good are apologies
If you never change your side

You take my hand
And I follow because
Scars don't scare me
But losing you does

I wrote this one for you

It's like fire in a crowded room
Pure panic and a false sense of impending doom
I'm like fire in a crowded room
Watch me burn
