And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb

And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come

But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young

This I know, yeah, this I know

She told me, "Don't worry about it"

She told me, "Don't worry no more"

We both know we can't go without it

I can't feel my face when I'm with you

But I love it, but I love it, oh

And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb

And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
