lyrics

we're only the best of friends when we're together
I'll only say what will keep you here forever
I'm in love with all the silence, that makes too much noise
standing at the finish line we almost have no choice

I'm in love with you, I'm the reaper
realized I'm in love with a memory, I'm the reaper
I remember you as a feeling, I'm the reaper
without your life there's no meaning, I'm the reaper

carry all my weight for me, I know you are strong
I thought you maintained your leverage but I was wrong
I contained your struggled movement, but not for long

I'm in love with you, I'm the reaper
realized I'm in love with a memory, I'm the reaper
I remember you as a feeling, I'm the reaper
without your life there's no meaning, I'm the reaper

I'm the reaper
I'm the reaper
I'm the reaper

I'm in love with you, I'm the reaper
realized I'm in love with a memory, I'm the reaper
I remember you as a feeling, I'm the reaper
without your life there's no meaning, I'm the reaper

I'm the reaper
I'm the reaper
I'm the reaper
