lyrics

Hey wait one more minute
theres something I've needed to get off my chest for a long time.
I've planned this out line by line
but your eyes made courage run from my mind.
This place in time makes these lines
rhyme in the right way and I never thought I would say
these lines I sing over you
I'm just praying to god that you feel the same.

I left the light on
and stepped out for a breather
Because I couldn't take the heat
and I guess you couldn't either.

That innocent smile you wore everywhere
had fingers crossed behind your teeth.
You glided into a world of control and dispair that I never could see.
Your halo is made out of cardboard boxes
from where you keep all of your broken hearts
I never thought the most perfect girl in her world
would tear my whole world apart.

I left the light on
and stepped out for a breather
Because I couldn't take the heat
and I guess you couldn't either.
If I had to place my bet
i'd say it'll never be right
Is this all you have to give
having your faith is a sad way to die.

So come on love and tell me a secret
'cause i'm the kind of boy you know can keep it
Between you and me and everyone you know
go have yourself a good time being alone.

Turn your heart into a grave and bury your pride
cover up all the bullshit that you keep inside
I see your true colors shining through
and reality seems to be new to you.

It takes a fistful of fear to get this party started
and the strike of a match to burn it down
As we sift through ash we'll find the broken hearts
of all the lost lovers who never found their way out.

Of those butterfly eyes and heavenly smile
with the devil on your shoulder (devil on your shoulder)
I needed a place to keep warm
But your heart keeps growing colder.
Colder!
