lyrics

I saw frost glass, between your body and mine
Took my hand and smashed it, didn't make a sound
Picked up the pieces and started to build
Trying to make, some room to breathe

And I saw cracks gather in the walls
Knew my kingdom had come, and now it would fall
So I ran for higher ground, to get a view on it all
Now I'll never sleep, I'll never sleep, I'll never sleep

I'll never admit to my lies, you accept them every time, without a word

We set it off, we set it off, I've let you
Under my skin, for far too long
You let it all run dry, you broken satellite
But this all end tonight

My blood felt cold, as you let me leave
Sat by the waters edge, getting ready to swim
But the taste of sweet salt water, filled my lungs
And I felt your old ghost grab me, and pull me down

I'll never admit to my lies, always got an alibi

I felt air escape me, I could do without it
Felt your fire inside me, but it didn't burn
The flames just kept me warm, throughout the longest winter
Someone said you saved me, which is what I always knew

Time, to let you go
Time, to make it new
It's time, to start again with you
