Meant To Die

The Used · Artwork [2009]

Past midnight, breathing in the dark

The same strange friend comes to visit

Never intend to open the door



You take it to places that no ones ever been

You let it, you let it

Your insides caving in

You pushed and pushed still wanting more



This time I've gone all the way without you

Theres nothing more I can say



So maybe I took a little too much

Maybe life didn't want this part of me

If it helps to know, I never meant to go

Sure I lost my mind

But I never really meant to die



Past heartbeats fading in the night

Only expected darkness

Surprise to wake and follow the light



The second you let it become a part of you

You'll never forget it, no matter what you do

You lost it all, still wanting some more



This time I've gone all the way without you

There's nothing more I can say



So maybe I took a little too much

Maybe life didn't want this part of me

If it helps to know, I never meant to go

I'm sorry that I lost my mind



So maybe I took a little too much

Maybe you've sucked the life right out of me

I should've let you know, I never meant to go

Sure I lost my mind

But I never really meant to die



[Instrumental Break]



So maybe I took a little too much

Maybe life didn't want this part of me

If it helps to know, I never meant to go

I'm sorry that I lost my mind



So maybe I took a little too much

Maybe you've sucked the life right out of me

I should've let you known, I never meant to go

Sure I lost my mind

But I never really meant to die
