I asked you if you still loved me while we were fucking Then 25 minutes later you broke up with me 30 minutes later I tried going to sleep on pillows That smelled like your hair products and that went horribly I'm having sleeping problems and they become seep-in problems Cuz they seep in all my other problems and make 'em steeper problems I taught you how to drive, E brake when the car's rolling back Now we're hugging goodbye on my blankets Tears rolling down each other's backs When you're both depressed and you don't Leave it on a therapist's couch Maybe you end up leaving it in your partner's bed Last night I slept with a video, last night I listened to ambient rain I cranked up the volume as far as it went And I wondered have I gone insane? And then it start raining for real but still all I could hear was the thoughts and the pain I will do anything, everything just to not feel like this ever again Yeah Yeah There's tears on my shirt and I wish they would stain Wish they would burn and I wish they would hurt Cuz I need to get dragged right up out of my brain Went to my sister's and I took the train Wondered if you're meeting someone today Thoughts of your plans and like where you'll be headed Make me wish I could be beheaded, oh mane I know that God walking with me on beats Strong with a pen but my heart getting weak We used to hitchhike to see what we'd see Both our thumbs up like a movie critique Went by her house just to run into her See in her face that she really feel hurt I'll see her momma, her dad or her brother Or maybe some fucker who fucks on her covers I'm feeling like fuck it my life in the gutter I'm gutted, I'm going, it's grueling I shudder We fought and we fought like we needed Bruce Buffer In diners we'd sit in the booth there together Same side of the table like at the Last Supper But dammit you crossed me I'll never recover And friends'll just finally get sick of my shit See that I'm calling and not answer it That'll be everything that I deserve Me in my room with just all my words All of these words that I prioritized over People who loved me but not for a verse People who loved me like me right in the moment But how could they love me for me that's absurd? I played with chalk on the street by the curb Guess I'm still at it but lately it hurts Fuck everybody I gotta just flex Stare at the treasure map chasing the chest Treated her like she ain't under the x And so now I'm just forced to get over my ex I wish I still could get under my ex Couldn't we fake it for only a night? She used to call me before, after flights Just me and her, our little life Well what the fuck What happened to that? What happened to love? Or what did I lack? Well what the fuck There's no going back There's nothing for us Our words got us trapped Well what the fuck What happened to that? (Yeah) What happened that? Well what the fuck No longer intact There's no going back There's no going back

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na I'm running on empty alone in a steel cold town The colours are fading to grey when you're not around, hey yeah I'm going over what you said The words keep ringing in my head What happened to the promises The promises we made You gave me frostbite in my heart 'Cause you had me branded from the start Nobody knows what I am going through (hey baby, why?) You gave me frostbite in my heart 'Cause you tore the love we had apart Somebody tell me now, what I should do? Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na I'm driving alone with the radio on in my car I'm staring at faces in places that used to be ours, hey yeah It can't you see what you do to me I'm drowning in my misery That fatal kiss of destiny Is clinging on forever more You gave me frostbite in my heart 'Cause you had me branded from the start Nobody knows what I am going through (hey baby, why?) You gave me frostbite in my heart 'Cause you tore the love we had apart Somebody tell me now, what I should do? I had to let you know, I keep thinking of you I can't let go, you know it's all that I do I had to let you know 'cause you are still on my mind All the time (na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na) Don't leave me hanging, oh (na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na) You had me branded Branded from the start You gave me frostbite in my heart 'Cause you had me branded from the start Nobody knows what I am going through What I'm going through, yeah (hey baby, why?) You gave me frostbite in my heart 'Cause you tore the love we had apart Somebody tell me now, what I should do? Hey baby, why? Why leave me hanging? You had me branded Don't keep me hanging on Hey baby, why? Why leave me hanging? You had me branded Don't keep me hanging on Oh

The sun is almost down And we are both enjoying the sound Of the ocean softly brushing against the land We are sleeping you and me With a smell of tulip tree Under the starry sky on a romantic balcony But a pain inside my chest wakes me up The truth is slowly spreading on the Smokey battlefield I am bleeding from my heart and I I feel so tired I guess I have to rest for a while High above this world Missing your love High above this world Missing your love I can see your face in tears When you so far away from here Read the messages from the war 'The battle took one more' I wanna tell nurse a secret My lips won't move Oh she really looks like you High (nothing can touch us now) Above (no one t tell us how) This world (I'm sorry for the soldiers) Missing your love (Who are still alive in the war) High (nothing can touch us now) Above (no one t tell us how) This world (I'm sorry for the soldiers) Missing your love (Who are still alive in the war) High (nothing can touch us now) Above (no one t tell us how) This world (I'm sorry for the soldiers) Missing your love (Who are still alive in the war) Hey you I wanna live I don't' wanna be a wounded soldier Don't wanna let your face grow older Hey you Take me to the ocean Take me to the smell of tulip tree To the romantic balcony Hey you

There is something about you baby I keep thinkin', "Why should I care?" 'Cause I'm a denier of damage suppliers Surrounding me everywhere So I try not to smile but I fail I am going to leave but I stay Invisible hands changing my plans Knowing the end of the day Icebreaker, take me higher Just hold your warm body next to mine Keep setting me on fire And don't tell me love is blind I am playing somebody's role And you've got the remote control Strong as a flower, you've got the power Twisting around my soul Icebreaker, take me higher Just hold your warm body next to mine Keep setting me on fire And don't tell me love is blind Icebreaker, keep me in motion I read your life as a fairytale The sea around me is frozen Show me where I can sail Icebreaker, take me higher Just hold your warm body next to mine Keep setting me on fire And don't tell me love is blind Icebreaker, keep me in motion I read your life as a fairytale The sea around me is frozen Show me where I can sail

There are times when you make me laugh There are moments when you drive me mad There are seconds when I see the light Though many times you made me cry There's something you don't understand I want to be your man Nothing to lose Your love to win Hoping so bad that you'll let me in I'm at your feet Waiting for you I've got time and nothing to lose There are times when I believe in you These moments when I feel close to you There are times I think that I am yours Though many times I feel unsure There's something you don't understand I want to be your man Nothing to lose Your love to win Hoping so bad that you'll let me in I'm at your feet Waiting for you I've got time and nothing to lose I'll always be around you Keep an eye on you (always keep an eye on you) 'Cause my patience is strong And I won't let you run When you are the only one (when you are the only one) Nothing to lose Your love to win (your love to win) Hoping so bad that you'll let me in (you'll let me in) I'm at your feet (I'm at your feet) Waiting for you I've got time and nothing to lose (oh-yeah) I've got time and nothing to lose

Even if you want to go alone I'll be waiting Don't know what to say now Don't know where to start Don't know how to handle A complicated heart You tell me you are leaving But I just have to say, oh yeah Before you throw it all away, ooh Even if you want to go alone I will be waiting when you're coming home If you need someone to ease the pain You can lean on me, my love will still remain Don't know what you're thinking To me, it seems quite tough To hold a conversation When words are not enough If this is your decision And there's nothing I can do, oh yeah I can only say to you (only say to you), ooh Even if you want to go alone I will be waiting when you're coming home (waiting when you're coming home) If you need someone to ease the pain You can lean on me, my love will still remain (Will still remain) Even if you want to go alone (alone) I'll be waiting when you're coming home If you need someone to ease the pain (the pain) Even if you want to go alone If you need someone to ease the pain, baby, my love Even if you want to go alone (even if you want to go), baby If you need someone to ease the pain (if you need) Lean on me, my love will still remain Oh, yeah
