Lyrics What I Had to Do (feat. Nayeli Abrego) - Arctic Rose

I can't stop the bleeding
My heart is racing, needing
And your hands are cold as ice
But no one can hear my cries

Your spirit's gone, no breathing
As blood and tears are wreathing
The lifeless frame that's in my arms
Distant sirens and alarms

I keep calling your name in vain
You've paid the ultimate price
I'm trying to forget
All that we had to sacrifice
You want me to let go
But you damn me if I do
I'll follow the path we carved
And never forget you

I call 911 crying
But there's no point in lying
I know I am on my own
I hang up and toss the phone

I lay you down, tuck you in
Your soul is gone, it's flying
So I can't stay here anymore
I walk out and lock the door

I keep calling your name in vain
You've paid the ultimate price
I'm trying to forget
All that we had to sacrifice
You want me to let go
But you damn me if I do
I'll follow the path we carved
And never forget you

You tried so hard to find the beauty in me
But I've always been a beast, and always will be

I keep calling your name in vain
You've paid the ultimate price
I'm trying to forget
All that we had to sacrifice
You want me to let go
But you damn me if I do
I'll follow the path we carved
And never forget you

I keep waiting for answers
From a man that's already dead
You made it so hard
To justify this bloodshed
I wanted to let go
And help all your dreams come true
Consider the lesson learned
You knew what I had to do
