The cards on the table
But we were not able
To fold or concede
I fought back
And what did it get me
This is no victory
This is defeat
________________________________________
Burned
I burned away
The only things I ever needed
To stay
Stuck with the choice
The choices I've made
I should be proud right now
But I'm left to bare the weight
•
Alone
•
All the lines we crossed
Had to be a better way
Maybe I missed it
I should've listened
To love
Everything we lost
Laying in the bed we made
Wrapped in shame
I know
I turned my heart to a ghost town
Stood and watched as it burned down
I turned my heart to a ghost town
Not
Much left to take
Its only now I realize it's too late
Cut a new path
And sharpen my blade
I should be home by now
But there's no longer such a place
_______________________________________
Wish that we could've been stronger
Yeah I know it hurt
But we could've held for a little bit longer
I know it's my fault
The flesh and the bone
The blood on the ground
The deafening sound
That pushes me on
•
Alone
•
All the lines we crossed
Had to be a better way
Maybe I missed it
I should've listened
To love
Everything we lost
Laying in the bed we made
Wrapped in shame
I know
I turned my heart to a ghost town
Stood and watched as it burned down
I turned my heart to a ghost town
Laid flat The cards on the table But we were not able To fold or concede I fought back And what did it get me This is no victory This is defeat ________________________________________ Burned I burned away The only things I ever needed To stay Stuck with the choice The choices I've made I should be proud right now But I'm left to bare the weight • Alone • All the lines we crossed Had to be a better way Maybe I missed it I should've listened To love Everything we lost Laying in the bed we made Wrapped in shame I know I turned my heart to a ghost town Stood and watched as it burned down I turned my heart to a ghost town Not Much left to take Its only now I realize it's too late Cut a new path And sharpen my blade I should be home by now But there's no longer such a place _______________________________________ Wish that we could've been stronger Yeah I know it hurt But we could've held for a little bit longer I know it's my fault The flesh and the bone The blood on the ground The deafening sound That pushes me on • Alone • All the lines we crossed Had to be a better way Maybe I missed it I should've listened To love Everything we lost Laying in the bed we made Wrapped in shame I know I turned my heart to a ghost town Stood and watched as it burned down I turned my heart to a ghost town Explain Request ×
