15[]

If you can hear this
Don't assume that I'm talking to you
Yesterday, everything I thought I believed in died
But today is my birthday

Today is my birthday

I don't need you, I'll say it to myself
It doesn't mean I won't need somebody
Anyone with half a soul
Will hear this and they'll never leave me

If you don't know what forever feels like
I'll show you what it feels like without it
I'll show you what it feels like without it

This time I won't hesitate
To kill to protect what I believe in
This time I won't hesitate
To kill to protect what I believe in

I can get by now, I'm not really dead
But I really needed someone to save me
Leaving me alone to die
Is worse than having the guts to kill me

If you don't know what forever feels like
I'll show you what it feels like without it
I'll show you what it feels like without it

This time I won't hesitate
To kill to protect what I believe in
This time I won't hesitate
To kill to protect what I believe in

Not letting you win, won't satisfy me
I'll teach you about loss
Not letting you win, won't satisfy me
I'll teach you about loss
