lyrics

it's so easy to stumble into a broken heart
you keep your head down low and forget to start
well i don't want to end up with those petty games
in my hand dear

and i don't know what causes this pain
but if you ever feel like comin back round again
i'll make things right as just before
that moment when i lost my breath

little soldiers they spin like clockwork
poking spears into your chest as it beats inside
the clouds up above look like a pop-up book display
bringing us back to yesterday

i don't want to end our love but i cannot keep you
the sky's overcast so i finally kiss you
but i know my anxiety won't ever go away

so i lock myself away
sayin i will hold you in my arms someday
don't get comfy i'll probably kill myself someday
so i should probably stay away

i don't know what it is but there's something that grips you
with sickening pleasure it starts to twist you
coating your heart in oil slick and bruises

something sinister and out of sorts
a mental breakdown i hear my screaming broke
so i channel it into one that sings

another depression that starts all over again
a vicious cycle that tells me i'm doomed inside
worlds collide and i crumble quick
i'm always sure that this'll be the one where i die

but sparks fly and i see the light
the sun it comes up and i start to cry
i know this feeling won't ever ever go away

so i still hope that i'll hold you in my arms someday
i'd kill myself just to hold you in my arms someday
no matter how fast those skies turn grey
i still tell myself every day
that i will hold you in my arms someday
