The lyrics:

I shouldnt laugh, but I know Im a failure in your eyes

I know its daft, but I guess I know it deep inside

It feels like were ready to crack these days, you and I

When its just the two of us, only the two of us, I could die

You left my heart like an abandoned car

Old and worn and no use at all

But I used to be free

We're gonna separate ourselves tonight

We're always running scared but holding knives

But theres a black chandelier

It's casting shadows and lies

Drip, drip, drip

I'd sit in silence for the rest of my life if you'd like

Dressing our wounds with industrial gloves made of wire

Feel it penetrating the skin, we begin to relax

When its just the two of us, and a cute little cup of cyanide

You left my heart like an abandoned car

Old and worn and no use at all

But I used to be free

Were gonna separate ourselves tonight

Were always running scared but holding knives

But theres a black chandelier

Its casting shadows and lies

Were gonna separate ourselves tonight

Were always running scared but holding knives

But theres a black chandelier

You left my heart like an abandoned car

Old and worn and no use at all

But I used to be free

We're gonna separate ourselves tonight

We're always running scared but holding knives

But theres a black chandelier

It's casting shadows and lies

Were gonna separate ourselves tonight

Were always running scared but holding knives

But theres a black chandelier

It's casting shadows and lies
