This song tells a tragic love story from the perspective of Death itself, torn between duty and a fleeting taste of human connection. It explores the pain of slowing down just long enough to love, knowing that letting go is inevitable and written into who the narrator is.

Song Lyrics

×
(Strophe)
I showed up quiet, right on time.
Black coat, bad habits, borrowed eyes.
She thought I was just another man.
Didn't see the end in my Hands.

I stopped counting names that night.
Let the hours bleed into light.
For once I stayed, I didn't go.
Forgot the rules I used to know.


(Refrain)
I tried to stay.
I'm made to leave.
I broke my pace.
I learned to breathe.
I crossed the line.
I played it slow.
I loved her once.
I let her go.


(Strophe)
We lived between the cracks of time.
Stolen days, cheap wine.
She laughed like nothing ever Ends.
Like clocks are just a lie we tell.

I watched the shadows stretch too far.
Felt the ticking in my scars.
Every mirror knew the truth.
Every night was almost through.


(Refrain)
I tried to stay.
I'm made to leave.
I broke my pace.
I learned to breathe.
I crossed the line.
I played it slow.
I loved her once.
I let her go.


(Strophe)
Her hands were shaking, not afraid.
She said, "You look so tired lately".
I wanted out, I wanted less.
But time won't bend for tenderness.

When her last minute called my Name.
I answered like I always came.
No mercy written in my role.
I took her slow, I took her whole.


(Refrain)
I tried to stay.
I'm made to leave.
I broke my pace.
I learned to breathe.
I crossed the line.
I played it slow.
I loved her once.
I let her go.
