Heirloom - Basenji & George Alice

When the beating heart makes the beating start It means they've found you out Nothing hurts you more until you can't ignore It's something to cry about Now before you know it, the scars begin to show it No place where you feel safe So much for getting better, it's just a matter Of when to run away A moment never lasts that long A moment never lasts so long right now No matter how the past has gone You'll always have the past along for a lifetime now But you can't run to ground Oh, you can't run to ground When the hurting stops and the voices drop It means the guilt kicks in They say they didn't mean it, they say they're gonna fix it When they yell, it means they care, are you getting it? Staring daggers, pressing kisses, hiding bruises When exactly does this feel like love? Now the question begs when you're the one who hates What in the hell are you passing on? A moment never lasts that long A moment never lasts so long right now No matter how the past has gone You'll always have the past along to last a lifetime now But you can't run to ground Oh, you can't run to ground A moment never lasts that long A moment never lasts so long right now No matter how the past has gone You'll always have to pass a lifetime now A moment never lasts that long A moment never lasts so long right now No matter how the past has gone You'll always have the past along to last a lifetime now
