[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
