Mike Thomas - The Heartbreaker's Eulogy

Mr. Hangman, why you swinging so low?
Did you really think this night wouldn't end?
Did you forget to make plans for tomorrow?
Or did you tie that knot too tight round your neck?
Well if I'm being honest
This life in cobwebs was worth all the misery
And I'd do it all again
But I've felt so despondent
I felt this constant need to make sure I could bleed
Turns out I can
Dearly beloved
It appears this shows gone way over budget
And I don't have it in me
To give the blood that you need
So you're free to leave, just like you wanted
Mrs. Widow, did you manage to fix that broken heart?
Cause when I met you, we were one in the same
We were so young, flaunting our scars
Shaped like smiles in the face of our pain
I could tell you that I've got this
Or say I'm making progress, but we all know it's a lie
I'm no better than I used to be
But every time I lost it
Found the line and crossed it, the only broken heart was mine
And I've gained some clarity
Dearly beloved
It appears this shows gone way over budget
And I don't have it in me
To give the blood that you need
So you're free to leave, just like you wanted
I know you're in my head, know you don't exist
But you're the reason why I never drained my wrists
I've never said it so directly, but I used to want to die
I danced with my demons at the ball and the graveyard
And it taught me how to cope when I was falling apart
Goodnight Heartbreakers, I'll see you on the other side
Dearly beloved
It appears this shows gone way over budget
And I don't have it in me
To give the blood that you need
So you're free to leave, just like you wanted
