I miss you more than I
Will ever say out loud
I thought maybe l'd get the chance
But I'm sorry is all I have time to get out

I know that you'd come to save her
Even though it's a death wish
I'm sorry that I wasn't braver
But l'll gladly trade myself for you to live

Just this once, I'Il make the good choice
I know we both won't make it out alive
You're so stuck on self-sacrifice
Just this once, l'll be the good guy

Just this once, l'll do what's right
If only this one good thing in my life
You're worth this one sacrifice
Just this once l'll be the good guy

But images leak through the static
Desperate blue sneaks through the green
I swear l'm fighting it with everything I've got
But when I fall you follow me

The next time I open my eyes
You're on your knees, I'm still alive
But soon you're asked again
To carry the weight of the world to the end
But you're worth more than what you sacrifice

So just this once, make a different choice
Someone else can save the world this time
You're so stuck on self-sacrifice
Just this once, don't be the good guy

But it's you that I've always loved
So l'm not going anywhere tonight
I'm staying with you and we'll play the good guy

I don't want you to be noble
You promised that you'd take me home, so
Just this once
Just this once

You've never once given up
Not even when l've pulled away
But now I'm here and it's almost done
So just this once
Just this once
You've never once given up
Even from that very first day
Edges rough, but it was always love
So just this once
Stay

You turn to me, it's finally over
You can keep your promise after all
We're going home after all this time
Shocked that we both made it out alive

Now we get to tell a story
That didn't just end with a hero's sacrifice
It goes: Just this once l'll choose what I want
And just this once l'll do the right thing
And just this once l'll choose to save her
And just this once l'll sacrifice
Just this once l'll make my own choice
And "just this once l'll be the good guy
