Bullet For My Valentine ~russian Roulette~

Love is a fifty fifty chance A coin toss Either we make it Or we don’t. It’s a game of Russian roulette There will be a time when one of us will get hurt Someone will eventually be burned With a fire that can’t be extinguished. It’s a game of luck And luck does not fall on my side This will not end well So it might as well end for me To save you from the pain. I’ll fake a smile So you won’t be worried Although you should be relieved I’m the one who should be crying I’m the one… Who deserves to die. Everything else fades away into the black Leaving only you and I Oh how I wish this moment could last for a lifetime But even this, my dear, even this will fade And I will fall from this heavenly cloud Without anyone to catch me. I’d rather it be me instead I cringe at the thought of you Alone Falling I’m of little importance No one would cry No one would think much of it Just go on with their lives Yes I’m glad it was me instead of you Because watching you die Now that’s one thing I couldn’t do. I told you “I love you” Now I must eat those words They are a poison Killing you so I must suck this poison out in order to keep you alive These words are bitter They are hard to swallow The taste won’t soon leave my tongue But better me than you. I won’t forget you I couldn’t if I tried I’ll remember you to eternity My only wish Is that you could forget me Forget the pain Forget the tears Forget the love My dear please forget me. I don’t regret anything I don’t regret falling in love with you And I don’t regret taking love’s bullet for you I’m glad it was me instead of you Because watching you die Now that’s one thing I couldn’t do
