lyrics

Back then, thought you’d never see the day
Yourself, in this way
Over it and burnt out
That classic nightly blackout

Don’t bury your heart
Give yourself time to restart
Then you’ll see, you’ve always got me

I’d say it’s safe to say
You went and threw it away
That good feeling can’t live inside your head every day
You feel tired, it’s too calm
You’re so callous, not strong
But I’m here for you, so just don’t go it alone

Here you are, back to the wall
Thought I’d never see you fall
Brush it off, work it out
This is what it’s all about

I’d say it’s safe to say
You went and threw it away
That good feeling can’t live inside your head every day
You feel tired, it’s too calm
You’re so callous, not strong
But I’m here for you, so just don’t go it alone

I’d say it’s safe to say
I can’t let you live this way
Just chase that feeling, don’t ever let it get away
I know you’re tired, it feels calm
Still callous, be strong
But I’m here for you, so just don’t go it alone

I’d say it’s safe to say
You went and threw it away
That good feeling can’t live inside your head every day
Your heart is stone
But please don’t go it alone

Here we are, backs to the wall
Thought I’d never see us fall
Brush it off, work it out
This is what it’s all about

Your heart is stone
But please don’t go it alone
