The Abyss Songtext
von The Weeknd

I tried my best to not let you go
I don′t like the view
From halfway down
Just promise me that it won't be slow
Will I feel the impact of the ground?

I tried to be somethin′ that I'd never be
Why waste another precious hour?
Why waste another precious ounce?
I'd rather leave somewhat of a legacy
Familiar, a thought that′s so familiar

Let me close my eyes with dignity
Let′s end it all, the world's not far behind
So what′s the point of stayin'?
It′s goin' up in flames, I know
Yes, I know
Oh-oh-oh

Hey-hey
Oh-oh
(Hey)


Just hold my heartbeat close to you
Remember how it always beats for you
I′m fallin' at the speed of light
I'm starin′ at your shrinkin′ face, don't cry

You know my heart belongs to you
One last time, say that you want me too
The only words that gave me life
Now I′ll see you on the other side

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, mama, I'll pray
I′m runnin' away
Oh-oh
Hey-hey (oh, no)
Oh-oh
Hey-hey

Is a threat not a promise? (Mm)
If you′re lookin' for rage (mm, oh)
If you're lookin′ for ragin′
Quiet for days


Baby, runnin' away
Ay-yeah
It′s a threat, not a promise
'Cause I′m cryin' for him

Yeah-yeah
Ah-ha (oh)
Ah-ha (oh)
Ah-ha
Ah-ha

Mama, I′ll pray
Mama, I'll pray
