"Elevator To The Gallows" lyrics

In everything I've ever done, I've never been the one
It's never been easy, it's always been a struggle for me
"I hope that when I'm gone, my love will live in song"
Don't try to rescue me when I'm swinging from the attic beam

What a time to be alive
But I'd be fine if it was my last night

God, I pray for the endless motion
To take me out of my misery
The only thing that I need tonight
Is you right here by my side

And ever since you left me
This pain inside hasn't gone away
And I just don't think it ever will
Your eyes will haunt me until the day I die

I can't keep going on singing a one note song
How can I give up when I'm the only person that she needs?
My sweet Penelope, I'm sorry but I had to leave
I'm just not strong enough to be there for the both of us

What a time to be alive
But I'd be fine if it was my last night

God, I pray for the endless motion
To take me out of my misery

And ever since you left me
This pain inside hasn't gone away
And I just don't think it ever will
Your eyes will haunt me until the day I die

Cause ever since you left me
This pain inside hasn't gone away
And I just don't think it ever will
Your eyes will haunt me until the day I die

I would rather die than be without my love
I'd rather die than be without my love
I would rather die than be without, without my love

And ever since you left me
This pain inside hasn't gone away
And I just don't think it ever will
Your eyes will haunt me until the day I die

Cause ever since you left me
This pain inside hasn't gone away
And I just don't think it ever will
Your eyes will haunt me until the day I die
