Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Streets are filled with broken glass
You get buried by the past
Give me just a little taste
Lay this mask to waste
Take me home
[Verse 2]
My mind is racin', take me home
My body's achin', so alone
I'll make you wanna stay with me
Befriended by the enemy
One more time
[Verse 3]
And every little thing about this tells me
Nothin' out there is ever gonna help me
All these words that I hear spoken
Just promises broken
[Verse 4]
Lookin' outside from my windowsill
Throw another coin in my wishin' well
You'll never find what you're lookin' for
Fifteen miles
Your dim light shines from so far away
Your sad smile is all I see when I say
[Verse 5]
Every little thing about this tells me
Nothin' out there is ever gonna help me
And all these words that I hear spoken
Just promises broken
[Verse 6]
From the hotel satellite
Don't look like you're livin' right
Here's a deal you can't refuse
You ain't got as much to lose
[Verse 7]
Can you tell your troubles to
Someone who won't laugh at you
It's alright
And as I walk you walk away
Hope a part of you will stay
It's alright
[Verse 8]
And every little thing about this tells me
Nothin' out there is ever gonna help me
All these words that I hear spoken
Just promises broken now
