It’s just that kind of phase
The sort of mood that makes an empire crumble
It’s pretty clear to me that the outside’s calm
But you’re breathing and breathing
To keep it all under the pain
When no one comes by to get you untied
Try flying back to the ways you knew
By the end of night you’ll be pleading and pleading
That you won’t be alone, when the sunlight fades and you’re lying awake
And they hand you a thorn covered rose, to soften your pride and help you recognize
That love threw you a stone, you should’ve tossed back, instead you fell under attack
There’s not a reason to drive, down the same road, yet you broke your own heart twice
It’s just another wave
Dig your heels in the sand and let it roll by
Although you’ve stood high for years
The salt sea breeze just stings your ear
Keep pretending under the pain
As love glides and drifts farther away
Try flying back to you
By the end of night you’ll be pleading and pleading
That you won’t be alone, when the sunlight fades and you’re lying awake
And they hand you a thorn covered rose, to prick at your pride and help you recognize
That love threw you a stone, you should’ve tossed back, instead you fell under into a trap
There’s not a reason to drive, down the same road, yet you broke
You broke your own heart twice
