Ever since the fires came
This room has never been the same
I know I'm the one you blame
Don't let me suffocate your flame
Please don't die on me
I'm haunted by your breath
I'm haunted but I'm free
Please don't let go
It's not over, no
Please don't die on me
Ever since you drew that line
I've forgotten what is mine
And ever since you lit that match
I've been burning low, I'm running out of flames to snatch
And ever since we lost the sun
We've been sucking dry the night and all its young
And ever since we shut the box
I've forgotten where I left the keys for all its locks
Please don't die on me
Keep breathing steadily
Please don't let go
It's not easy, I know
But please hold on for me
Your careful eyes, your weak disguise,
I know inside a brightness lies
Just hold my hand, don't let the sand that's blowing scratch away your skies
Easy now
We'll steer this bow into the waves, the storm will pass
Just hold my hand 'till we find land,
At last, at last
Please don't die on me
I need you desperately
Please don't let go
I'm right here you know
Please don't die on me
