The Life Expectancy Of A Heart

Kill me. I don't wanna die, but I feel like doing it.

*Starts off with acoustic guitar, picking*

 

Sing to me that song

You know, that one

 

It calms and

assures me

that my life's worth saving

when voices get louder

and tell me I'm dying (<------Drums start to come in during this line)

 

(All instruments start playing: Electric Guitar, Bass, Drums..etc..)

 

So just say

((That you need me))

((Stay with me as my heart is failing))

I can't breathe

((The air has left me))

((I can only see the wrong inside of me))

 

I'll follow you tonight

I'll swear it on my life

 

I'll stay with you always

and sing to you softly

to stop the loneliness from breaking you down

 

So just say

((That you need me))

((Stay with me as my heart is failing))

I can't breathe

((The air has left me))

((I can only see the wrong inside of me))

 

And when you're falling

I will catch you

I never hear you calling anymore

 

So just say

((That you need me))

((Stay with me as my heart is failing))

I can't breathe

((The air has left me))

((I can only see the wrong inside of me))

 

*Back to acoustic guitar, but strumming this time, not picking*

 

I'll follow you tonight

I'm longing for the light

 

You're words cut me like a knife

Taking all my life.

 

The room starts to spin and

my vision gets hazy

 

I'm crying for help but   

 

*instruments cease*

 

*whisper* why won't you help me?

Author's Note

I wrote this with my cousin. Right now, he's sad because his girlfriend moved away. We were like, let's write a song. So we did. It's quite crappy, yes I know...and maybe it'll get revised in the future, but for the most part, this is it for now. I wrote a melody for it and some of the guitar already...
