My head is haunting me and my heart feels like a ghost I need to feel something, 'cause I'm still so far from home Cross your heart and hope to die Promise me you'll never leave my side Show me what I can't see when the spark in your eyes is gone You've got me on my knees I'm your one man cult Cross my heart and hope to die Promise you I'll never leave your side 'Cause I'm telling you you're all I need I promise you you're all I see 'Cause I'm telling you you're all I need I'll never leave So you can drag me through hell If it meant I could hold your hand I will follow you 'cause I'm under your spell And you can throw me to the flames I will follow you, I will follow you Come sink into me and let me breathe you in I'll be your gravity, you be my oxygen So dig two graves 'cause when you die I swear I'll be leaving by your side So you can drag me through hell If it meant I could hold your hand I will follow you 'cause I'm under you spell And you can throw me to the flames I will follow you so you can drag me through hell If it meant I could hold your hand I will follow you 'cause I'm under you spell And you can throw me to the flames I will follow you, I will follow you I will follow you, I will follow you So you can drag me through hell If it meant I could hold your hand I will follow you 'cause I'm under you spell And you can throw me to the flames I will follow you, I will follow you
