Lyrics

    I kill myself in small amounts
    In each relationship it’s not
    About love
    Just another funeral and
    Just another girl left in tears
    And I’m waiting 
    With the sound turned off
    I’m waiting
    Like a glass balloon 
    And I’m fading 
    Into the void and then
    I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone…
    They said that hell’s not hot
    I gave my soul to someone else
    She must have known that
    It was already sold
    It was never about her
    It was about the hurt
    I’m waiting
    Like a glass balloon 
    And I’m fading 
    Into the void and then
    I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone
    They said that hell’s not hot
    I kill myself in small amounts
    In each relationship it’s not
    About love
    Just another funeral and
    Just another girl left in tears
    And I’m waiting 
    With the sound turned off
    I’m waiting
    Like a glass balloon 
    And I’m fading 
    Into the void and then
    I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone…
    They said that hell’s not hot
