lyrics

The warmth held me close, but maybe warmth was all it was
Something that lasted seconds, with no lines to be crossed
And I heard those comforting words, that meant everything
But nothing is ever promised

The rain cascades down
The wind screams your name
And you open your eyes to the blindness of rage
I can't help you now
You know it's too late
And I'd wait forever, if I thought you would change

That sickly sweet taste of a love you had to replace
The memory still remains like mirrors on the walls of this maze
Fighting down this feeling that never satisfies
I'm not saying I'll stop at nothing, but it's so easy to believe your lies

The rain cascades down
The wind screams your name
And you open your eyes to the blindness of rage
I can't help you now
You know it's too late
And I'd wait forever, if I thought you would change

I don't think we're going to die tonight
Nothing's a nightmare and you sleep so restlessly
How high did she fly?
How high?
Before she collapsed in your hands
And broke before your eyes
No, I don't think we're going to die tonight
Nothing's a nightmare, and you sleep so restlessly
But looking at her broken wings
She let go of everything
And now she's lost control
