[Verse 1]
On a Sunday, near September
We awoke surprised to remember
How the light attaches to a change of heart
What was simple, now there's questions
The kind where I don’t look my best in
And the ghost in me will keep us far apart
[Chorus]
And you know you don't deserve this
And I don't know how to word this
But before you go, before you go, I just wanted you to know
That I would, that I would
I would love you if I could
But my unsteady heart’s not ready
You'd only get what's left of me
Only this, only this
Is going to be the death of me
It's going to be the death of me
It's going to be...
[Verse 2]
I would give you anything if I had anything to give left
But the phantoms here won't ever have their fill
I would tell you "I don't miss her"
Cries of love reduced to a whisper
But the truth is that her ghost it haunts me still
[Chorus]
And you know you don't deserve this
And I don’t know how to word this
But before you go, before you go, I just wanted you to know
That I would, that I would
I would love you if I could
But my unsteady heart’s not ready
You'd only get what’s left of me
Only this, only this
Is going to be the death of me
It's going to be the death of me
It's going to be...
[Verse 3]
I've forgotten how it feels to have my head over my heels
I don’t want to walk away but it's not fair to let you stay
I'll fall apart beyond a kiss
A castaway upon your lips
Only this, only this
Is going to be the death of me
Gonna be, gonna be
Going to be the death of me
Gonna be, gonna be
Going to be the death of me
Oh, gonna be
It's going to be the death of me
Hey, yeah
It's going to be the death of me
The death of me
The death of me
It's going to be the death of me
The death of me
The death of me
Going to be the death of me
