Lyrics of Wristcutter's lullaby

It's hard for you seeing things the way you do
When you gave up that way i knew
You might get hurt again

I ran when the police tried to contact me
I ran, i was so much afraid
I ran, till my legs buckled under me
I ran, but i wish that i'd stayed

When i agreed to leave
I didn't think you had to give
Another demonstration like you did
And hurt yourself again

I ran when the police tried to contact me
I ran, i was so much afraid
I ran, till my legs buckled under me
I ran, but i wish that i'd stayed

And now you're lying injured in your bed
I feel responsible for what you did
I sometimes wish that it was me instead of you

I want to say i'm sorry that i couldn't stay
Although i let you down today
You won't get hurt again

I ran when the police tried to contact me
I ran, i was so much afraid
I ran, till my legs buckled under me
I ran, but i wish that i'd stayed
