I've been falling in bad habits
Staring into the abyss
Drowning in red wine and sniffing cinnamon
We've been kissing on the playground
Acting like little kids
Making dirty jokes and getting away with it
So I propose
It's long overdue
When you go to hell
I'll go there with you too
And when we're punished
For being so cruel
The silver lining’s I'll be there with you

Never been calm or collected
No one ever called me sweet
What a miracle I found a darling
I met you at the worst time
Fell in love on a whim
Now we pirouette in fields of rosy sin
So I propose
It's long overdue
When you go to hell
I'll go there with you too
And when we're punished
For being so cruel
The silver lining’s I'll be there with you

The silver lining’s I'll be there
With you
