Official Lyrics[]
Deuce: Take my hand, let's go
Somewhere we can rest our souls
We'll sit where it's warm
You say "look, we're here alone"
(I know)
I was running in circles
I hurt myself just to find my purpose
Everything was so worthless, I didn't deserve this
But to me you were perfect
I'm scattered through this life
If this is life, I'll say goodbye
She's gone like an angel
With wings, let me burn tonight
(Tonight)
I was running in circles
I hurt myself just to find my purpose
Everything was so worthless, I didn't deserve this
But to me you were perfect
Johnny 3 Tears: I see me writing on this paper, praying for some savior
Wishing to intake her and save her
In a world so, so godless, so thoughtless
I don't know how we wrought this, all the love that you brought us
It feels like I'm killing myself, just wheeling myself
Just to pray for some help
I'd give it all just to have, have your eternity
'Cause it's all that assures me, it's worth all that hurts me
I'd give you my heart and I'd let you just hold it
I'd give you my soul, but I already sold it
On that day, that day I walked away in December
I will always remember, I'll regret it forever
I remember brown eyes so sad and blue skies
Turned to darkness that night, I'm so sick of the fight
I won't breathe unless you breathe, won't bleed unless you bleed
Won't be unless you be till I'm gone and I can sleep
Deuce: I was running in circles
I hurt myself just to find my purpose
Everything was so worthless, I didn't deserve this
But to me you were perfect
I was running in circles
I hurt myself just to find my purpose
Everything was so worthless, I didn't deserve this
But to me you were perfect
Deuce: I've gone away, seen better times in yesterday
Johnny 3 Tears: (I hurt myself!)
Deuce: It's hard to say that everything will be okay
Johnny 3 Tears: (I hurt myself!)
Deuce: I've gone away, seen better times in yesterday
Johnny 3 Tears: (I hurt myself!)
Deuce: It's hard to say that everything will be okay
Johnny 3 Tears: (I hurt myself!)

- After Deuce's departure from the band, he covered this song (replacing Johnny 3 Tears' verse with his own) and released it on his EP, The Call Me Big Deuce EP.
- This is one of the few songs to feature only two vocalists, with the others being Cashed Out, Ghost, Ghost Beach, I'll Be There, Kill Everyone, Lion, Outside, Paradise Lost, Party By Myself, Pour Me, Pray (Put 'Em in the Dirt), Take Me Home, and The Diary.
