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
