Pause the Tragic Ending - Rachael Yamagata

Draw me under, cut me open

Take my heart, I give it to you

Call the thunder and bring the storm

Hold me close, I beg of you

And pause the tragic ending

For just a moment more

Draw the dresser out

And slide it to the door

And burn the air out of the room

Close the curtain and kill the lights

Only seconds left to tell you

How I need you every night

And pause the tragic ending

For I’m almost out of breath

Whisper in my ear

Take a bite out of my neck

I’d give you blood

If that’s what you need to stay alive

You’ll be free and I will die

You’ve fallen down broken, no sense

No sense, hey, no sense, hey

You’ve fallen down broken, no sense

No sense, hey, no sense, hey

You’ve fallen down broken, no sense

No sense, hey, no sense

Throw the ashes out to sea

God forbid you, hurt her twice

Drink away the taste of me

And in the morning pay the price

Pause this tragic ending

??

to say

Wash the sheets and clear your head, you’ll be okay

But bury me deep down in every song you play

The tragic ending

The tragic ending

The tragic ending saves the day
