Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'll be your distraction
I'll be your distraction
[Verse 2]
There's a field near by, with words written in stone
My love will not die, please let it be known
This place is dead, it echoes through town
There isn't one voice, I haven't heard a sound
[Verse 3]
The planes flew in, their bombs did too
The city fell flat, the fires they grew
When the smoke comes in, it'll color this town
But I'll still have you, so I'll say it aloud
[Verse 4]
I'll be your distraction
I'll be your distraction
[Verse 5]
The friendship we made is a waste of our time
There's no one left here to show a future that's kind
It's a world of hate gone incredibly wrong
We cared too late, we just followed along
[Verse 6]
And the boys went down with a gun in their hand
Their weapon of choice, their knees in the sand
If that field near by was still there to be used
Would you ever have known those words were for you?
[Verse 7]
I'll be your distraction
I'll be your distraction
[Verse 8]
I'll be your distraction
I'll be your distraction
I'll be your distraction
I'll be your distraction
[Verse 9]
I'll be, I'll be yours
I'll be, I'll be yours
I'll be, I'll be yours
I'll be, I'll be yours
