lyrics

Death of the Party

If I was your greatest sin
Would you forgive me?
For taking all I could get
And simply forgetting
You loved me when no one did
A claim even I couldn't make
And long before I could think
That I could give you the same

But there was always something
Standing in the way
Pretending there were more important
Things to play
Ahhhh
My naïveté defended
Every choice I made
I recommended and persuaded
And we both followed my lead

I don't wanna be the death of the party
I don't wanna be the reason it started
I don't wanna be the death of the party
No...

Our nights would turn into days
And we were becoming
Something I could not foresee
I found myself running
Away from what we wanted
Except that I never did
Put enough thought into it
And that's how fear conquered love

I looked for every possible
Way out
Too scared and filled with doubt
To even notice what we had
Ahhh
Kickin off the rust
Of alcohol and chalk
I must have realized
That all along
It's not the end
But our beginning

I don't wanna be the death of the party
I don't wanna be the reason it started
I don't wanna be the death of the party
No...

And all these people, well they gotta go
