Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Waking up is harder than it seems

Wanderin' through these empty rooms

Of dusty books and quiet dreams

Pictures on the mantle speak your name

Softly, like forgotten tunes

Just outside the sound of pain

[Verse 2]

Were we like a pair of thieves?

With tumbled locks and broken codes

You cannot take that from me

My small reprieve's your heart of gold

Weren't we like a battlefield?

Locked inside a holy war

You're lovin' my due diligence

The only thing worth fighting for

[Verse 3]

Change will come to those who have no fear

But I'm not her, you never were

The kind who kept a rule book near

What I said was never what I meant

And now you see my world in flames

My shadow songs, my deep regret

[Verse 4]

Were we like a pair of thieves?

With tumbled locks and broken codes

You cannot take that from me

My small reprieve's your heart of gold

Weren't we like a battlefield?

Locked inside a holy war

You're lovin' my due diligence

The only thing worth fighting for
