Corvus subtraction lullaby

What will it take to wash away this beautiful mistake?
What are you trying to replace?
And why can't I breathe
When you look at me?
I promise everything will be alright
My lies are just you needed
Her eyes are piercing through my skin
What will it take to make you mine until the end of time?
What are you trying to escape?
And why can't I sleep
When you're not next to me?
I won't let anything hurt you
My lies are just you needed
Her eyes are piercing through my skin
Alive but barely breathing
This love will kill me in the end
So wake me up when this is over
