The weight of a broken heart
stretched too thin, pulled too far
When the distance between your words
and my arms, has never been further apart
oh, the images that time has burnt into my mind
line after line
of the lies you trusted me not to tell,
that I buried inside
oh, the promises you burnt to the ground
the moment he came around
Finally the truth comes out,
you only think of yourself
The weight of a broken heart
stretched too thin, pulled too far
When the distance between your words
and my arms, has never been further apart
I swore I'd bury you,
I drowned the mirror you whispered sweet nothings through
but nothing's through,
turns out I'm not quite over you
year after year, you bled through the cracks
in the prison walls I call my mind
I thought I buried you some five years back
but you came back by a flickering light
The weight of a broken heart
stretched too thin, pulled too far
When the distance between your words
and my arms, has never been further apart
Remember the quiet place I took you?
our little slice of paradise.
I meant every word that I said back then,
but goddamn if I'm forgiving this
The weight of a broken heart
stretched too thin, pulled too far
When the distance between your words
and my arms, has never been further apart
oh, the images that time has burnt into my mind
line after line
of the lies you trusted me not to tell,
that I buried inside
but I've changed with time.
