And you're not gonna bring me down.

Sometimes you reach the crossroad

Where all you can say is

"I'm through"

And these crimson thorns

The heart that's torn

And I can't do this without you


The flames call out your tired name

You'll have to repay them someday

That heart of ice, of men and mice

The best laid plans can't execute twice

This will never be the same


Look, no more

I wish I could speak to you

All the faith I put in you

But I know in my core

It's not the answer I'm looking for


You'll never take me alive

No, I'm not gonna lie

'Cause here's the truth

And it might hurt you

But you're never too young to die


Let go of me

(Please

What for?)

I'm not worth your pity

(But I'm stronger than before)


Let it die

(But please, what for?)

I'm getting outta the city

(To thrive on something more)


And the promised laughter

Perished vows

What I'm after

Nothing to laugh about now


I'm not one to crave a lie

Some form of comfort to live by

Your roses' thorns

Can't hurt me anymore

'Cause I'm never afraid to die
