When I heard the words I stood my ground With just one kiss you made my head lose space and fall around Some might say the weak becomes the prey and let us down But in some other time and some other life you brought me round It was a night like any other night We walked in and I knew something there just wasn’t right I hate to say the way you pray it suddenly felt so old But I didn’t mind leaving you behind in spite I’m speaking from my heart I’m speaking with my head The light that pushed me down The pounding of my heart Resounding in my head The light that pushed me down Given time foundations will decay If you don’t take time to remould the clay But on occasion they will raise themselves up from the ground If it’s meant to be it will be again someday When looking back you’ll find someone who feels so out of place You try to reason with yourself eliminate just that one face

Broken Boy 04:10
At that house in summer on your birthday I could see it in your eyes that morning that something had changed And despite the sunshine I wished it would rain Because then maybe you wouldn’t leave me and never come back here Back again Broken boy, I didn’t want to fix you I was happy being there for you Broken boy, I had so much to give you But I didn’t think you’d break me too I would’ve waited for you however long it would take I saw your heart when it was open and I saw my own heart break But before you leave here please let me see your face There’s nothing to do, nothing to say But I still dream of you any, anyway Broken boy, I didn’t want to fix you I was happy being there for you Broken boy, I had so much to give you But I didn’t think you’d break me too But for the first time I see trees burning and I’m still standing And I wish you love more than anything Although I’ll never see you again Broken boy, I didn’t want to fix you I was happy being there for you Broken boy, I had so much to give you I would’ve gone with you wherever you’d go Broken boy, you know I still miss you But I didn’t think you’d break me too

It’s always the same When the sun clears the rain And I think about the pain gone by September’s here And the future, I fear Is all too clear for you and I But don’t turn around and tell me that I was forgetting you I know I’ll back down, but I won’t forget what I know is true If I try to leave I know it’s the one thing you won’t allow But do you still love me now? I’m out in the grey Carving my way To a bright new day and a new life There’s no looking back To think about what I lack But this beaten track never feels right So just hold me close and tell me it’s all gonna be alright I know how it goes, you’ll be the last thing on my mind Do you believe we can weather the pain cause I don’t know how You can still love me now? But don’t turn around and tell me that I was forgetting you I know I’ll back down, but I won’t forget what I know is true If I try to leave I know it’s the one thing you won’t allow But do you still love me now?
