Follow you close, four steps behind 
Part of me knew all of this time 
Pushed it down deep, kept it so small 
To help me keep these fragile rules 

From crashing down around my feet 
Don't make a sound, just let you be 
Lost in her face, can't turn away 
This final blow helps me let go 

Don't stop now, I need this to hurt 
Burn it into my mind
No more second guessing anymore 
This is how it ends 

So don't stop now, get my head on straight 
And if seeing this is what it takes 
Please don't stop it now 
This will be the last time 

This darkened street you go to hide 
Illuminates you are not mine 
These days run cold, my body numb 
I am not whole, what have you done 
It all makes sense to disconnect 
Too many words were left unsaid 
But still I stare, frozen here 
Until the curtains close 

Don't stop now, I need this to hurt 
Burn it into my mind
No more second guessing anymore 
This is how it ends 

So don't stop now, get my head on straight 
And if seeing this is what it takes 
Please don't stop it now 
This will be the last time 

So don't stop now 
I need to see this through until this final bar 
Illusions gone, the show is done 
So don't stop now 

Follow you close, four steps behind 
Part of me knew you were not mine 

So don't stop now, I need this to hurt 
Burn it into my mind
No more second guessing anymore 
This is how it ends 

So don't stop now, get my head on straight 
And if seeing this is what it takes 
Please don't stop it now 
This will be the last time 

So don't stop now 
I need to see this through until this final bar 
Illusions gone, the show is done 
So don't stop now
