n..           
It's a choice to stay
                     
It's a dream & I wanna wake 
                                          
You have blood on your hands and I'm feeling faint 
                         
And honey You can't decide 
                            
I'm a drug Ya don't wanna give up 
                                
Smoke your cigarettes Make your love 
                                            
You poured blood in my heart and I can't get enough 
                                         
I'm drowning, drowning and you can't decide  

                 
It's not about geography, or happenstance 

you need to fly, & take a chance 
           *            /
You don't need to soar to emptiness 
           *            /        
Float on high, & forever dance alone 
                             
Youre scared, scared, scared 
                           
cuz I feel like home  

     (couple times)

                         
Hear your voice Knew right away 
                             
If you were here your eyes would say 
                                    
There is blood on my feet as I'm walking away 
                              
Rivers are red Its starting to rain 

                
I'm not gonna live for you or die for you 

Won't do anything anymore for you 
           *            /
Cuz you leave me here on the other side 
           *            /
You leave me here on the other side 

(repeat 3 times) 

                        
Not gonna shed one more tear for you 
               
shed one more tear for you 
                             
I'm not gonna shed one more tear for you 

At least not til Sunday Afternoon
