Less Than Alive

These are the words I want to say: 
Darling, I loved you, but it's not the same 
You waited far too long to see 
And now it's your own fault that we can never be 

I didn't ask you for your help 
I never begged to see you in my dreams 
And I would die before falling to my knees for you 
And love, here's your chance to be free from actuality 

It's a mistake 
It was a chance we'd take 
We bend and then we break 
This is the line 
For ever a day goes by 
That we're less than alive 

I just have to close my eyes to see 
Your brilliant lies that twist and turn inside of me 
You're running me through with open arms 
But you had your chance and now it's my turn to move on 

It's a mistake 
It was a chance we'd take 
We bent and now we break 
This is the line 
For ever a day goes by 
That we're less than alive 

For days and nights I'd lie awake 
And feel your hand brush on my face 
And there I'd wait, but there you'd stay 
Content in all your misplaced faith 
There's nothing I want more 
Than to tear you from my heart with a fatal blow 
Get out of my mind - you've lost your hold 
And there's nowhere for us to go but down again 

It's a mistake 
It was a chance we'd take 
We bent and now we break 
This is the line 
For never a day goes by 
That we're more than a lie 

It's a mistake 
This is a chance I'll take 
To save me from your face 
This is the line 
For ever a day goes by 
That we're less than alive
