You are on my back, still
Pulling ever tighter on this necklace

(This necklace you gave to me)

Pulling ever tighter on this necklace
Pulling tighter until I bleed

(I am used to the blood)

Pulling tighter until I bleed
You are not the only thing

(The only thing causing me to bleed)

You are not the only thing
The only thing that matters

(Until you are, because it's always you)

The only thing that matters
Is that I will continue to survive

(As I always have)
