With steel in my eyes and the will to wear a smile
I go out, into the battlefield
There she stands with her hands folded, wearing a look
That makes me feel the way that I have to feel
Look at him standing there trying to prove he cares
It’s so tired and I’m so tired of it
I’m not here to be won over
Not here to get one over on you
With every inch of my being I’m trying to help, I swear
But I’m struggling to make sense of it all
Is this really how it all falls down,
Is this feeling something lasting now?
I’ve never been lost for words but darling I must have heard
This rumour a million times
This is really how it all goes down,
And this feelings something lasting for you to get used to now.
How did we get here? I never wanted to change
The way it was when this started.
But this just won’t feel the same as did before
From the moment somebody else saw inside your heart.
Where do we go from here? Cos I never wanted to leave
You lonely and broken hearted
But this just won’t feel the same as did before
From the moment somebody else saw inside your heart.
As I crumble, my guilt outweighs my confidence
Left standing and having to fight my way out of this mess.
And I stumble through goodbyes, my conscience taking time
Left stranded, hurting inside and having to find my way out of this mess
Never been lost for words but darling I must have heard
This rumour a million times
This is really how it all goes down,
And this feelings something lasting for you to get used to now.
A melancholic haze that, if you let it in, will grab your ears, hold you tight, and won't relent, not until you've broken. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 28, 2014
