Richard Zihan Peng - Strike Me Down Lyrics

You and I fought the midnight tide but I think I gotta go
We can't hide in the lie of hope til the crimson river flows
I'm too far gone now honey from the man you used to know
Love you from my dreams til the kingdom crumbles
And I'm tired of keeping control when I can't control how I need you
I'd gladly skate the ice let everyone die if I see you
Cry one single tear I fear I'll plunge it all to black
Aren't you afraid of that
So let me go
Before I lay my blood-soaked hands on your body
No
Oh no when you see my shadow don't come running
It cost me everything to save you
So don't look back be brave you know
That I'm dead on sight honey if you see me strike me down
Cliffsides by a broken bridge where your whisper used to be
Riptides pull the heart I lived in far away from me
Sometimes on a lonely night if I close my eyes and I count to three, I
I convince myself you're happy
And I'm tired of keeping control like I won't burn worlds just to hold you
I'm slipping from my throne I could hardly breathe when I told you
Fly anywhere but here my dear
I can't lose you too
Even if I tried to
So let me go
Before I lay my blood-soaked hands on your body
No
Oh no when you see my shadow don't come running
It cost me everything to save you
So don't look back be brave you know
That I'm dead on sight honey if you see me strike me down
Down
I remember every second
Every breath every word you said and
Heart heavy, eyes leaded
Not ready to be dead yet
Find the surface, I will follow
Anywhere you go, love I'll go
I'll go
So let me go
Or I'll lay my blood-soaked hands on your body
No
If you see my shadow don't come running
So let me go
Before I lay my blood-soaked hands on your body
No
Oh no when you see my shadow don't come running
It cost me everything to save you
So don't look back be brave you know
That I'm dead on sight honey if you see me strike me down
