The Despair Factor Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Hades 

Cover art for The Despair Factor lyrics by AFI

It seems like one of those old sad love story movies. Kind of like the movie "Sleepy Hollow" but in black and white. Where it is suppose to be the best day of his life and the girl never shows up (like that). It seems like when he says "steal away the breath and leave me on my own." Is when he realizes that girl will never show up. Or maybe never cared.
