Photographs stained black, I can't get the time back
Memories pixelated and blurred a bit so my mind can tolerate it
Boxes all taped shut, my windows rolled up
Your love always eluded so I fought for it harder
But it slipped through my hands like wine, like water
All the smoke, all the mirrors, the lies
No holding back this broken glass is all that I have
And how I failed in all that time
All I tried to mend you back
The stars they crossed us and now I'm lost, all alone, it's cold
But while I combust, you're at your calmest, All alone
Heart strings all tattered, hardened from the pattern
You strike me with fists and I'm blue
But your words do the worst
You feign your regret, I give in to forgiveness
A novelty is all you see, not a feeling person, a soul that you have been hurting
The stars they crossed us and now I'm lost, all alone, it's cold
But while I combust, you're at your calmest, All alone
All the smoke, all the mirrors, the lies
No holding back this broken glass is all that I have
And how I failed in all that time, all I tried to mend you back
All the smoke, all the mirrors, the lies
No holding back this broken glass is all that I have
And how I failed in all that time
