Left For Dead

(album: Great Heights & Nosedives - 2017)

She's calm, collected and I'm wrapped around her finger
She runs away when any spark starts to linger
The words across her skin
Read "I'll never let you in"
And I believed it but I ignored it

So all sings point to failure and stay away
But her blue and her gold washed over me
And every lesson I've learned there's a long delay
Where I hear it and I ignore it
Where I hear it and I ignore it

So you'll find me here in the broken remains
Of our wasted years decomposed in a day
Left for dead, I'll be. Loosen the noose around my hands
All that glitters isn't gold and I know that you don't under...

Stand the way I tried to stay away that night
Cause I thought that I could learn to swim in her riptide
And all her reasons for leaving
She knows there's no one I believed in
(No there's no one I...)

She wears a hood to hide her face
She stands alone, I stood in place
With all the broken hearts before me
I saw perfection in her glaze
She shot me down, my bones ablaze
I guess I heard it and ignored it

So you'll find me here in the broken remains
Of our wasted years decomposed in a day
Left for dead, I'll be. Loosen the noose around my hands
All that glitters isn't gold and I know that you don't understand

So you'll find me here
In our wasted years
You'll still find me here
In our wasted years

So you'll find me here in the broken remains
Of our wasted years decomposed in a day

So you'll find me here in the broken remains
Of our wasted years decomposed in a day
Left for dead, I'll be. Loosen the noose around my hands
All that glitters isn't gold and I know that you don't understand

And I know you don't, I know you don't understand
All that glitters isn't gold and I know that you don't understand
