Hold On Tightly, Let Go Lightly

When you're left with only a bullet
I'll bring a trigger and a promise to pull it
I'll be the end of everyone who's ever entered your life
And taken pieces out of itI'll give you enough time to regain your composure
To reconstruct a heart that's torn apart from over-exposure
I know forever isn't long enough to forget the faces
And places that played out your tragedyOur memory defeats us all
I've touched the stagnant water and muddy walls
Of the trench where you've been sleeping
And there's nothing there worth keeping
There's nothing there worth keeping
Or believingSo on the eve of the attack
We'll finger-trace the targets on their backs
And open fire
(Just hold on until they're gone)So with this kiss I promise to
Never forget what you
Did for me, you did for me
(I felt the sun
on my face
for the first time,
and tasted blood
on my tongue
for the last.)When you're left with only a bullet
I'll bring a trigger and a promise to pull it
I'll be the end of everyone who's ever entered your life
And taken pieces out of itI'll give you enough time to regain your composure
To reconstruct a heart that's torn apart from over-exposure
I know forever isn't long enough to forget the faces
And places that played out your tragedy
