"Long Way Down" lyrics

"Long Way Down"

Red rose in the palm of your hand
Headstone at the top of the bed
Sinking in
6 feet
Staring deep in the ground
It's a long way, it's a long way down

Three words on the tip of your tongue
Sweeter when the damage is done
No return
The hard pill that you're swallowing now
It's a long way, it's a long way down

You want me to stay
I don't feel the same way
There's nothing to say
Turning the page
A twist of the same blade
There's nothing to say

Don't cry, darling, we had a fun
So I flew too close to the sun
Out of luck
What goes up never stays in the clouds
It's a long way, it's a long way down

You want me to stay
I don't feel the same way
There's nothing to say
Turning the page
A twist of the same blade
There's nothing to say

You want me to stay
I don't feel the same way
There's nothing to say
Turning the page
A twist of the same blade
There's nothing to say

This is gonna hurt
Crashing down the earth
No use lying when you're lying in the dirt
You can try your best
But we should let it rest
Rest in peace
Pieces all that's left

You want me to stay
I don't feel the same way
There's nothing to say
Turning the page
A twist of the same blade
There's nothing to say

You want me to stay
I don't feel the same way
There's nothing to say
Turning the page
A twist of the same blade
There's nothing to say
