How can I describe this situation that lies before me?
How can I deny the implication of what I've done?
If you read between the lines you'll see I acted with good intention
If you see it through my eyes you'll see I had no other choice
If I said that I'm sorry would it mean more if I lie?
If I told you it killed me to kill you?
My suicide messiah, are you anything to me?
My suicide messiah, you're everything to me.
How could it end this way with you leaving this time forever
Another sad cliché, another way to say you're gone.
I don't care what people say while pointing fingers their accusing gesture
A morality soiree and I'm the uninvited and unwelcome guest
If I said that I'm sorry would it mean more if I lie?
If I told you it killed me to kill you?
My suicide messiah, are you anything to me?
My suicide messiah, you're everything to me.
In my defense this only happened because I love you
And no consequence would deter me from doing this again
Doesn't it make sense that I would take this to an extreme measure
That I would see this, see this through until the end?
If I said that I'm sorry would it mean more if I lie?
If I told you it killed me to kill you?
If I said that I'm sorry would it mean more if I lie?
If I told you it killed me to kill you?
My suicide messiah, are you anything to me?
My suicide messiah, you're everything to me.
