Standstill (Regret an Exhale)

I might stare at the air for hours with this one wonder on my mind
Why does my heart beat an extra time or two for you?
I am on the fence of whether untying this knot would unlock this stop
And it would bleed to do, to forget you

So this is our standstill
This is our pin to pull

Should I cut my heart out of you?
Well, I’m scared it’ll hurt you, too

You might wake up and draw a painless breath in the morning
I might regret an exhale of words written with my own blood
And falling from the fence might hurt, but is it worth it?
And it would bleed to do, to forget you

When we run away
You’ll be somewhere I won’t know
And I will kill myself in search of it

Should I cut my heart out of you?
Well, I’m scared it’ll hurt you, too
