[Intro]

Without me

Without me

[Verse 1]

Without me

You'd see

How much better things can be

That even though you don't want to be alone

You'd be much better off

Without me

I may seem ungrateful

'Cause I'm scared to let you in again

Scared to feel safe again (Safe again, safe again)

I may sound so hateful

'Cause I see my old self in you

And I hate seeing the truth (Seeing the truth)

I've become a devil...

[Breakdown]

...who's terrified

Of losing you again

[Chorus]

If I lose you, I'll lose my sense of place

It'd just worsen my already fragile state

I'd lose my purpose

I'd lose my purpose

I'd hope not to forget your perfect face

Leave me rotted, but you'd find a better place

I'd lose my purpose

But I'd deserve it

I'd be left to waste, worst case, forget your face

Then you'd find me floating further into empty space

But without me...

Without me

[Verse 2]

Without me

You'd be free

Of my bullshit and selfishness

My failure as your love interest

No longer a crutch

For a pill-eating, love-leeching, cowardly nihilist

Without me

You'd see

How much better things can be

That even though you don't want to be alone

You'd be much better off

Without me

[Bridge]

You'd pull closer to stay, and I'd just push you further away

Our mutual misery, disjointed empathy

Our love in entropy

Now I just want to mark your bruised skin with my teeth

'Cause "I'm scared I'll wake up...

I'm scared I'll wake up from my dream if I fall asleep"

[Breakdown]

So wrap your fingers round my throat

Squeeze harder and tighter, until my eyes start to float

To the back of my head, be the Shinji to my Asuka instead

And leave me in the bed

So wrap your fingers round my throat

Squeeze harder and tighter, until my eyes start to float

To the back of my head, be the Shinji to my Asuka instead

And end your dread

[Chorus]

If I lose you, I'll lose my sense of place

It'd just worsen my already fragile state

I'd lose my purpose

I'd lose my purpose

I'd hope not to forget your face

Leave me rotted, but you'd find a better place

I'd lose my purpose

But I'd deserve it

[Breakdown]

You were the one who said it best

If you leave me alone, just what am I supposed to do?

[Verse 3]

Without me

You'd be free

Of my bullshit and selfishness

My failure as your love interest

No longer a crutch

For a lust-feeding, self-hating, depressing pessimist

Without me

You'd see

How much better things can be

And even though you don't want to be alone

You'd be much better off, love

Without me
