B O N E S
You left me with nothing, but my bones n’they creak and crackle all night long to the rhythm of her heartbeat I’m the walking symphony and like a phantom I waltz these city streets to sleep I’ve been holding my breath for so long I’ve forgotten how to speak I’m so sorry you mistook the rising and falling of my chest to be signs of life You should’ve known.. I’ve been coughing up dust since the first day we met Should’ve known better than praying for a miracle You should’ve drove a stake through my chest years ago.. if only I had a heart to aim for Sit with me We’ll watch the sun come up It’ll all be over soon I’m turning to ashes Just close your Eyes Make a wish and blow Let’s not go on pretending like this was something cause’ you know by the time that I’ve seen the moon has come up tomorrow I’ll be dragging home another nothing I’ve got no heart and I’ve got no pulse I aint got a single reason to breath I just do how I do Play how I play Pretending that I’m breathing I’ve been holding my breath for so long I’ve forgotten how to speak I’m so sorry you mistook the rising and falling of my chest to be signs of life You should’ve known.. I’ve been coughing up dust since the first day we met Should’ve known better than praying for a miracle She drove a stake through my chest years ago.. if only I had a heart to aim for Wouldn’t be the first time.. Wouldn’t be the first time that I.. Wouldn’t be the first time that I lied… Wouldn’t be the first time that I lied about being alive
