[Verse 1]
I don't know how you feel yourself
But I'd rather hurt here than be happy somewhere else
No one will scar me like you do
But no one will ever be compared, compared to you

[Pre-Chorus]
The heart gets slo-o-o-o-o-o-ow
We all heal tho-o-o-o-o-o-ough
You never kno-o-o-o-o-o-ow
To stay or go

[Chorus]
But I know
A love like this will end in tragedy
You know
Every kiss suspending gravity
Burns us both to love this close
We lose ourselves
And I know we won't get out alive
But only the lonely survive

[Verse 2]
Yeah I'm sure you've thought of someone else
Somebody not as complicated as myself
He'll never scar you like I do, no
But he'll never know you, not the way that I knew you
[Pre-Chorus]
The heart gets slo-o-o-o-o-o-ow
We all heal tho-o-o-o-o-o-ough
You never kno-o-o-o-o-o-ow
To stay or go

[Chorus]
But I know
A love like this will end in tragedy
You know
Every kiss suspending gravity
Burns us both to love this close
We lose ourselves
And I know we won't get out alive
But only the lonely survive

[Post-Chorus]
Only the lonely survive
Only the lonely

[Bridge]
(Survive at all)
Me and you get low
(Survive at all)
So why don't you let go?
Our undertow pulls us both though
Love like this will end in tragedy
You know
Every kiss suspending gravity
[Chorus]
It hurts like hell to love this well
But no one falls the way we fell
We'll burn alive
Only the lonely survive

[Post-Chorus]
Only the lonely survive
Only the lonely survive
