Heartstrings

(albüm: Sine Qua Non - 2016)

Keep my heart inside your hands
Beating, leave it in your grasp
Keep it, it's yours to understand
Breaking, slipping through like sand

I've taken my heart out
'Cause it don't beat the same no more
I've zipped my mouth shut
'Cause my words don't mean much at all

I'm gonna lay down
Until I fade out
I'll go to sleep now
Don't lie to yourself, no
I'm gonna wake up
And I'll stay up
And wonder why I'm lying on your pillow

Keep my thoughts inside your hands
Mould them, they're yours to comprehend

I've taken my lungs out
'Cause you are the air I breathe
To find out that her heart
Beats fine without me

I'm gonna lay down
Until I fade out
I'll go to sleep now
Don't lie to yourself, no
I'm gonna wake up
And I'll stay up
And wonder why I'm lying on your pillow

My body feels cold
in the night when you're so warm
When you stole the sheets on the sixteenth
I remember when you said
"The night no longer feels as dark"

And my body feels cold
in the night when you're so warm
When you couldn't sleep on the twenty-fifth
I remember when you said
"The night has never felt so dark"

I'm gonna lay down
Until I fade out
I'll go to sleep now
I'll go to sleep now
I'm gonna wake up
And I'll stay up
And wonder why I'm lying on your pillow

I'm gonna lay down
Until I fade out
I'll go to sleep now
Don't lie to yourself, no
I'm gonna wake up
And I'll stay up
And wonder why I'm lying on your pillow

And my body feels cold
in the night when you're so warm
When you couldn't sleep on the twenty-fifth
I remember when you said
"The night has never felt so dark"
