lyrics

You carved your heart in my hand
ink made the blood
but the city doesn’t look the same
when you’re in it, keeping up
It’s caving in with me
and yes I’m strong, but equally as weak
and you’ve known all this time
we spent that this was
our destiny ‘cause
Time to time they come by,
habits, their cycles
are reason for secrets
though I never try to win them over
I don’t wanna win them over
I don’t have much else left to gamble
Only roses grow if you keep them
where you found them
but you and I my dear,
we’ve got places to go
I really mean them,
all the words I never said
I really mean them, every last one
They’re caving in with me
and yes I was wrong,
but equally as true
