Lyrics

Broken sticks and broken stones Are turned to dust just like our bones It's words that hurt the most Now isn't it? Are you sad inside, are you home alone? If I could just pick up the phone Maybe you can see a better day And you won't waste away Under my watchful eye Because I'm your hero And you're my weakness Who's gonna break my fall When the spin starts? The colours bleed together and fade Was it ever there at all? And have I lost my way? The path of least resistance Is catching up with me again today I'm broken down, not good enough The broken promises add up They're twice their weight in tears which I have caused Until I'm afraid to sink, I'm afraid to swim Sad to say I miss my friends And know that I'm supposed to step away But they need me to stay And keep a watchful eye On all my heroes and all their demons But who's gonna break my fall When the spin starts? The colours bleed together and fade Was it ever there at all And have I lost my way? The path of least resistance Is catching up with me again today Not today Not today Was it ever there at all Oh, and have I lost my way The path of least resistance Is catching up with me again today, oh Oh, broken sticks and broken stones Are turned to dust just like our bones Again today I am broken down, not good enough The broken promises add up again Today, oh-oh-oh Was it ever there at all" And have I lost my way? The path of least resistance Is catching up with me again today Again today This is how the story went I met someone by accident That blew me away That blew me away It was in the darkest of my days When you took my sorrow, and you took my pain And buried them away You buried them away I wish I could lay down beside you When the day is done And wake up to your face against the morning sun But like everything I've ever known You disappear one day So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away You dropped me off at the train station Put a kiss on top of my head And watched me wave You watched me wave Then you went on home to your skyscrapers Neon lights and waiting papers That you call home You call it home I wish I could lay down beside you When the day is done And wake up to your face against the morning sun But like everything I've ever known You disappear one day So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away Away I woke up feeling heavy-hearted I'm going back to where I started The morning rain The morning rain And although I wish that you were near That same old road that brought me here Is calling me home It's calling me home I wish I could lay down beside you When the day is done And wake up to your face against the morning sun But like everything I've ever known You disappear one day So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away And I could spend my whole life hiding my heart away
