Verse 1
I feel your breath on my skin,
Wrapped in your arms, folded in.
Yet I'm passing the time
Tracing each line in the ceiling.
I'm buried deep in these sheets
Alone, even though you're next to me.
I'm staring at the door,
Wanting much more than you're giving.
Pre-Chorus
There's nothing, just silence,
But inside my heart won't stop screaming.
Eyes open, I'm trying to brace myself for the morning.
Chorus
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh I can't break anymore.
I'll put up a fight
To get through tonight.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh I won't speak my mind,
'Cause it's easier to lie,
Lie in the dark.
Verse 2
I let you in way too fast.
You saw right through me just like glass.
But I'm starting to crack
And you'll never come back to pick up, pick up the pieces
Pre-Chorus
There's nothing, just silence,
But inside my heart won't stop screaming.
Eyes open, I'm trying to brace myself for the morning.
Chorus
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh I can't break anymore.
I'll put up a fight
To get through tonight.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh I won't speak my mind,
'Cause it's easier to lie,
Lie in the dark.
So I'm waiting for daylight
When I can take back my heart.
Bridge
Give me a reason to stay.
You broke down my walls
And I fell apart.
Give me a reason to stay.
We had no steady ground
From the start.
Chorus
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh I can't break anymore.
I'll put up a fight
To get through tonight.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh I won't speak my mind,
'Cause it's easier to lie,
Lie in the dark.
So I'm waiting for daylight
When I can take back my heart.
End
I feel your breath on my skin,
Wrapped in your arms, folded in.
Yet I'm passing the time
Tracing each line in the ceiling.
