Lyrics

Your arms around me come undone

Makes my heart beat like a drum

See the panic in my eyes

Kiss me only when I cry

'Cause you always want what you're running from

And you know this is more than you can take

Baby, don't forget my name

When the morning breaks us

Baby, please don't look away

When the morning breaks us

Oh, your touch, so bittersweet, ah

Baby, don't forget my name

When the morning breaks us

Your cheek is softly by the sun

Makes my heart beat like a drum

I know it hurts you, I know it burns you

Hot and cold in a lonely hotel room

Look into me, tell me why you're crying

I need to know

'Cause you always want what you're running from

And it's always been that way, oh

Baby, don't forget my name

When the morning breaks us

Baby, please don't look away

When the morning breaks us

Oh, your touch, so bittersweet, ah

Baby, don't forget my name

When the morning breaks us

'Cause you always want what you're running from

Baby, don't forget my name

When the morning breaks us

Baby, please don't look away

When the morning breaks us

Oh, your touch, so bittersweet, ah

Baby, don't forget my name

When the morning breaks us (morning breaks us)
