[Verse 1:]
This step is the hardest one to take,
It's fucked up that the foundation
Is breaking now that the blueprints are unveiled.
This prayer is the only way I know to break this curse,
Your curtain call, and I don't want you to see me fail.

[Pre-chorus:]
This is how it feels to me; with every breath I take in,
It takes away from me too, to see you lying on your knees.
Just tell me everything's fine and I'll believe that it's true.

[Chorus 1:]
Open your heart, let me open mine.
Inhale for now, just let me say goodbye.
Or am I waiting to be alone.

[Verse 2:]
Face down in the dirt, I am your soldier here
And I won't forget your struggles with the sickness in your bed.
This prayer is the only way I know to break this curse,
This curtain call and I don't want you to see me fail.

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus 2:]
Tell me God, can you not spare her life?
I pray today that you won't close her eyes.
Or am I waiting to be alone?

[Bridge:]
Alone. I'm waiting to be alone,
Alone inside.
So when can I see you next?
Once again in death?

[Chorus 1:]
Open your heart, let me open mine.
Inhale for now, just let me say goodbye.
Or am I waiting to be alone.
