Lyrics
Broken sticks and broken stones
Are turned to dust just like our bones
It's words that hurt the most
Now isn't it?
Are you sad inside, are you home alone?
If I could just pick up the phone
Maybe you can see a better day
And you won't waste away
Under my watchful eye
Because I'm your hero
And you're my weakness
Who's gonna break my fall
When the spin starts?
The colours bleed together and fade
Was it ever there at all?
And have I lost my way?
The path of least resistance
Is catching up with me again today
I'm broken down, not good enough
The broken promises add up
They're twice their weight in tears which I have caused
Until I'm afraid to sink, I'm afraid to swim
Sad to say I miss my friends
And know that I'm supposed to step away
But they need me to stay
And keep a watchful eye
On all my heroes and all their demons
But who's gonna break my fall
When the spin starts?
The colours bleed together and fade
Was it ever there at all
And have I lost my way?
The path of least resistance
Is catching up with me again today
Not today
Not today
Was it ever there at all
Oh, and have I lost my way
The path of least resistance
Is catching up with me again today, oh
Oh, broken sticks and broken stones
Are turned to dust just like our bones
Again today
I am broken down, not good enough
The broken promises add up again
Today, oh-oh-oh
Was it ever there at all"
And have I lost my way?
The path of least resistance
Is catching up with me again today
Again today
This is how the story went
I met someone by accident
That blew me away
That blew me away
It was in the darkest of my days
When you took my sorrow, and you took my pain
And buried them away
You buried them away
I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away
You dropped me off at the train station
Put a kiss on top of my head
And watched me wave
You watched me wave
Then you went on home to your skyscrapers
Neon lights and waiting papers
That you call home
You call it home
I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away
Away
I woke up feeling heavy-hearted
I'm going back to where I started
The morning rain
The morning rain
And although I wish that you were near
That same old road that brought me here
Is calling me home
It's calling me home
I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away
And I could spend my whole life hiding my heart away
