Can't beat the best ones

A little closer maybe a bit too close

You function you turn out
A flawless performance

Turn your camera away from me

Spill your guts in 8mm

Put your focus where your mouth is

You're the only one who's fading here

Such holidays in the sun don't come without sacrifices

You know it makes more sense

I like the way you cry

Is a lie just the truth
Uncovered and relinquished
A passion for all young fools
Is a lie just the truth
A question left unanswered
To feed the failure of our choices

And in my hands our blood recovered
And for our faith we're undeserved
And in my hands our blood recovered
And in your faith completely

Do we wait all this time
And follow blindly hating
Killing all that we survey

Wasting time, it's over and ended
Wasting time, we deserve
Hold that line, they ask us in safety
Hold that line, when we talk

I can see the headlights and pavements
My legs can't carry me that far,
If this distance isn't enough they'll cry
Another river to see you drown

Faceless lies, it's easy to speak when
Every word is your own
Selfish eyes look onward in protest as we

Is a lie just the truth
Uncovered and relinquished
A passion for all young fools
Is a lie just the truth
A question left unanswered
To feed the failure of our choices

And in my hands our blood recovered
And for our faith we're undeserved
And in my hands our blood recovered
And in your faith completely

Do we wait all this time
And follow blindly hating

They stand to fight for nothing.
They show how stupid we've become,
as fortune favours only
those who care too much to see.

It will never be ok,
some will say.

We stand to fight for nothing.
So close your eyes and stay away.
Don't believe their headlines.
They poison our minds
every day.

Can't pretend that you're nothing special
You've got to look at all of your options
You can't decide what to go for
When it's all about trust (it's all about trust)
You see your self on the TV
You read your magazines
You can't explain how it's come to be this
Stop and think.
When it's all about trust (it's all about trust)

This coverage your centre spread

Can't beat the best ones
A little closer maybe a bit too close
You function you turn out
A flawless performance

Turn your camera away from me
Spill your guts in 8mm
Put your focus where your mouth is
You're the only one who's fading here

Such holidays in the sun don't come without sacrifices
You know it makes more sense

I like the way you cry

in black and white, wounds all bound
sitting at the table, biting nails all short
the consequence of adultery,
as he rips you from your skin

we're all paying for this and in your prayers,
you believe

you believe, you believe (just for the first time)
you believe, you believe (just for the first time)
you believe, you believe
(a seam away from breaking)

You say it's not going to work out
Why do you have to tell me now
Is there a difference in anything
you've said or done
Or is it just the way we've been pretending

I'm leaving (x2)
Do me a favour don't even think of me now
Just when you thought it was over It had only just begun (X2)

I'm not going to let this tear me apart
She's not my only reason
he's not my only reason she said

The red poison of your lips
The red poison of your eyes
Is where I kissed the blood from,
Just that corner of your mouth where I can see the white of your smile.
Up to my neck
When I’m breathing without you, without you
Up to my eyes
And I’m seeing without you, without you

We’ll start a fire,
And burn some bridges
And make it out of here tonight
We’ll start a fire,

As the sun sets
On battlefields
I hope you can save me
I hope you can save our wounded hearts

Distance makes my heart seem colder
Distance makes my heart seem older
Just enough to cut the air from your lungs
(from your lungs)

As the sun sets (we push and pull apart)
On battlefields (enough for this to end)
I hope your can save me (from ourselves)
I hope you can save us from ourselves

Tied to the testing of wills, when my heart breaks and spills
Left to the sight of the sky, in your arms I'm defined
Thrown to the wolves in the minds of your enemies
(minds of your enemies)
And I'm stone in the eyes of your foolishness

Well if this is what I'm meant for, no longer interesting
Fall forward to even the score, just a thought to you

Who shot the bullet
That killed the air tonight
Without a thought, without a reason
Take a gun called hate
Up against your heart
And pull the trigger
Take a gun called hate
Up against your heart
And pull the trigger

It’s over, it’s only over
It’s only over when we say

The smoke and the mirrors
The lies that wind your tongue

The promise that he made
Left broken on the floor
The bruise left around your heart
Left you begging for more

The promise that he made
Left broken on the floor
The bruise left around your heart
Left you begging for more
Left you begging for more

Thank you for making me
Worthless in your eyes
In hope and desperation
I’ll find my only light
In your white wedding dress
