Pause the Tragic Ending Lyrics
Draw me under
Cut me open
Take my heart
I give it to you
Call the thunder and bring the storm
Hold me close, I beg of you
And pause the tragic ending
For just a moment more
Draw the dresser out
And slide it to the door
Burn the air out of the room
Close the curtain
Kill the light
Only seconds left to tell you
How I need you every night
Pause the tragic ending
For I'm almost out of breathe
Whisper in my ear
Take a bite upon my neck
I'll give you blood
If that's what you need to stay alive
You'll be free
And I will die
You're falling down
Broken loose ends
No sense
Hey yeah [x3]
Throw the ashes
Out to sea
God forbid you
hurt her twice
Drink away the
Taste of me
And in the morning
Pay the price
Of this tragic ending
Running out of things to say
Wash the sheets
And clear your head
You'll be o.k.
But bury me deep down
In every song you play
The tragic ending (x3)
Saves the day
Cut me open
Take my heart
I give it to you
Call the thunder and bring the storm
Hold me close, I beg of you
For just a moment more
Draw the dresser out
And slide it to the door
Close the curtain
Kill the light
Only seconds left to tell you
How I need you every night
For I'm almost out of breathe
Whisper in my ear
Take a bite upon my neck
If that's what you need to stay alive
You'll be free
And I will die
Broken loose ends
No sense
Hey yeah [x3]
Out to sea
God forbid you
hurt her twice
Taste of me
And in the morning
Pay the price
Running out of things to say
Wash the sheets
And clear your head
You'll be o.k.
But bury me deep down
In every song you play
Saves the day

One last night before finally ending it. Just one more nice memory before the heartbreak comes.
Also, he's clearly the one doing the ending:
"Take a bite upon my neck I'll give you blood If that's what you need to stay alive You'll be free And I will die"
He's taken everything and walking away with the power.
I think this song is a woman who is having an affair with a man and the tragic ending is that there is no good way out of it for anybody involved. She's desperate to have him, even though she knows it's killing her ("draw me under, cut me open, take my heart, I give it to you...hold me close, I beg of you"). The title of the song explains everything, she wants to continue the affair and not have to deal with the consequences of what she and the man did.

She's willing to let him...
She's willing to let him end their relationship and "be free," if that's what he needs, even though that will break her heart that she can't have him.
She tells him to "throw the ashes out to sea" which is a metaphor for the end of their relationship. "God forbid you hurt her twice" means that he would end the relationship he was in and further hurt the woman he was with.
"In the morning pay the price" is how the man is going to have to deal with what he has done by giving in to the affair.
"Wash the sheets, clear your head, you'll be OK" means to forget about the physical and emotional aspects of their affair so he can move on. "But bury me deep down in every song you play" means she wants him to remember her, because she still loves him.
"Tragic ending saves the day" means that it was the best possible solution, even though it was a conflict with no actual good ending.
