Counting 1, 2, 3
'Til this paradigm is over
You got so close to me
But I'm always getting older

I'm dying over here
I just need a breath of fresh air
I'd love to help you dear
But I'm pulling out my own hair

And I don't want to let you down
Or let you slip away
And I know it's easier said than done
But I'll do what it takes

And I can feel the end
But I don't want to believe it
So I just close my eyes
And don't listen to reason

Maybe it's already dead
And we dress it every morning
I've always been afraid
It would leave without a warning

But I don't want to let you down
Or let you slip away
And I know it's easier said than done
But I'll do what it takes

I want you to smile
Even when your world comes crashing down
I want you to smile at us and say
Even if we lost it all today
There's still a bar to raise
So it's not over yet

I want you to smile
Even when your world comes crashing down
I want you to smile at us and say
Even if we lost it all today
There's still a bar to raise
So I'll do what it takes
