I've seen that lines are forming,
Invisibly cross your face,
Despite our tries, we can't get by them,
And they can't be erased.

There's nothing left to try,
And nothing left to do,
I'd take my life away,
If I could give one back to you.

(Because) I'd swallow the razors,
That tear you up inside,
I'd walk with you through fire,
As pieces of us die.

I'd give you all my strength,
To spit back in their face,
Those days are gone and over,
As we wait for them, to fade away.

A soldier of misfortune,
With still a distance to go,
No wounds or battle scars,
Are physically shown.

Time is the only bandage,
To heal your agony,
I'll give you a hundred better years,
Than the sixteen you spent without me.

(Because) I'd swallow the razors,
That tear you up inside,
I'd walk with you through fire,
As pieces of us die.

I'd give you all my strength,
To spit back in their face,
Those days are gone and over,
As we wait for them, to fade away.

Deep in my mind I know you'll feel the same again,
But I can't help but think we've got a ways until then.

I'd swallow the razors,
That tear you up inside,
I'd walk with you through fire,
As pieces of us die.

I'd give you all my strength,
To spit back in their face,
Those days are gone and over,
As we wait for them, to fade away.

I'm swallowing razors,
Just to keep you alive,
Every day we walk through fire,
As pieces of us die.

I've given all my strength,
And spit back in their face,
The worst days are gone and over,
As we wait for them, to fade away.
