Lifeline

[Male]
I've been walking this devil's road
For what feels like forever.
Ten thousand steps
And the heat is getting hotter.
I can feel your eyes on every move,
I can feel your salt in every wound,
I can feel your claws in every grasp,
I can feel you always on me.
[Female]
I didn't mean to shout,
I didn't mean to cry,
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I didn't mean to scathe,
I didn't mean to hate,
I didn't mean to leave you.
[Male]
But you did.
It feels like I'll never get away from you.
Trapped in hell with the demon herself
And I'm playing by her rules.
A dark temptress on my back
Pulling me back to step one.
And I'll never be free of what can only be
My own personal hell.
[Female]
I didn't mean to shout,
I didn't mean to cry,
I didn't mean to hurt you.
[Male]
But you did.
[Female]
I didn't mean to scathe,
I didn't mean to hate,
I didn't mean to leave you.
[Male]
But you did.
[Male + Female]
If we could turn away,
But now we're in the fire,
We're in the same kind of hell.
It's lights out and I hear the demons
Surrender my empathy as well.
[Female]
I didn't mean to love,
I didn't mean to hate,
I didn't mean to break you.
[Male]
But you did.
I didn't mean to laugh,
I didn't mean to say,
I didn't mean to hate you.
[Female]
But you did.
I didn't mean to tempt,
I didn't mean to mock,
I didn't mean to break you.
[Male]
But you did.
[Male + Female]
I didn't mean to cut,
I didn't mean to laugh,
I didn't mean to sideline you.
I didn't mean to cry,
I didn't mean to scream,
I didn't mean to haunt you.
I didn't mean to scathe,
I didn't mean to stay,
I didn't mean the guilt, the hate, the pain,
I didn't mean to wish,
I didn't mean to miss,
I didn't mean to burn us.
