lyrics

The worst thing you can ever be is lonely,
wrecking everything to justify your need.
But given half a chance I’d of done anything
just so feel your cold heart wanting me again.
I stood alone and I would fall for anything.
Sparks were always brightest crawling in the dark.
I couldn’t even see to feel which heart was mine.
I held onto the darkness like penance for a crime.

You were just another word for lonely.
It was never me you wanted in the end.
Fool me once, shame on you, another time then I’m the fool.
You’d trip me every time you changed the rules.

They follow you like nothing else is possible.
You break them down to build them up to feed them from your hand. Once they realize they don’t know themselves,
they bite the chains that bind them and the blood it flows again.

I didn’t know I was alone until you found me.
Avoided like an old pine bending in the wind.
If lonely is the crime of which I’m guilty,
shackle me to the breeze and you can keep your key.

You were just another word for lonely.
It was never me you wanted in the end.
Fool me once, shame on you, another time then I’m the fool.
You’d trip me every time you changed the rules.
You were just another word for heartache.
You knew that what I needed was a friend.
Fool me once, shame on you, another time to prove you’re cruel,
but I won’t dignify this ship of fools.
