A Little Death

A Little Death - ****ed Up

Like the leaves that fall off of a tree

I know that love has just left me

I can give in to being estranged

As the branches wilt and the colours change

And the fish that wash up on the shore

Who won't swim in the sea anymore

Are like those thousands of wasted days

Upon those million grains of sand

And like the leaves that pile to decay

These little deaths happen every day

Maybe our love was just a cliche

And not unique because it happened to me

Let my life blow away in the wind

Carry those old dreams far from me

I'll just be alone and pass the time

I'm better off it was too much

A little death from every touch

I had to run I had to leave

I'm dead inside but I can breathe

And I see now that it was me

I've lost my love and my family

But let the trees and the sea feel contrite

Convince myself that it's alright

Better to smile and take the blame

Than to hold on to the truth and the pain

I don't want love if it will hurt me again

I'm better off it was too much

A little death from every touch

I had to run I had to leave

I'm dead inside but I can breathe

I'm better off it was too much

A little death from every touch

I had to run I had to leave

I'm dead inside but I can breathe

I'm better off it was too much

A little death from every touch

I had to run I had to leave

I'm dead inside but I can breathe

The leaves that fall never grow back

Their colours fade and turn to black

Forget the things you used to love

Just give up and let the memory fade
