lyrics

If I set fire to this tomorrow,
Please remember my smile,
For I won’t beg or steal but it feels I have borrowed,
You from the heavens for a while.
You are the spring in my step,
My hope when I thought I had none left,
And you said you could see everything in my eyes.

One day this is all going to crash and burn,
You can count me as a lesson that you had to learn,
When that comes to pass,
Please remember your worth,
Because my heart speaks a language no one deserves.

Don’t want to love you in a hurry,
But I’m not sure I have much time,
When you see things like I do,
That we’re just passing through,
You wouldn’t ask for reasons why.

Maybe you are just a fever,
And I’ll be cured of you in days,
Perhaps then I could breathe again,
And rise on through the haze.

I’ve said all I can say,
I’m not going to stay if you won’t fight for me the same.
If I don’t belong to you,
Onward I will move and sing my broken blues.
My broken blues,
My broken blues,
My broken blues,
My broken blues,
If I don’t belong to you,
Onward I will move and sing my broken blues.
If I don’t belong to you,
Onward I will move and sing my broken blues.

The air truly left my lungs,
When I became an accidental slip of your tongue.
The rapture had to come and go for me to be able to see,
You were the only thing standing in between hell and me.
The only thing standing in between hell and me.
