When Your Heart Stops Beating lyrics

So you think you've been through it all
But I can't help but wonder now
Yesterday I found my worst regret
I'll hide it away so no one ever knows
I'm dying
I'm trying to leave

Let me slip away I'm barely holding on
Every now and then I feel the end of us

I never meant to say I'm sorry
And I'm not sad to see you go
We're human shapes burned on concrete walls

The last time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't see you with the sun shining in my eyes
I said "Hello" but you kept on walking
I'm going deaf from the sound of the freeway
The last time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't hear you with your voice ringing in my ears
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night?
I couldn't feel you, you're always too far away

Please understand
This isn't just goodbye
This is I cant stand you
This is where the road crashed into the ocean
It rises all around me
And now we're barely breathing
A thousand faces we'll choose to ignore

Curse my enemies forever
Lets slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful
This desperation leaves me overjoyed

Turn it up
I never want to go home
I only want to be part of your breakdown
She got caught by the four on the floor
It picked her up and she'll never get let down
And now I can't stop thinking about it
All you people at the top don't know nothing about it
We don't give a fuck what the price is
So just leave us to our own devices and we'll leave you alone

I wake up at the end of a long, dark, lonely year
It’s bringing out the worst in me
I hear your voice start breaking in fear
When the lights go down

And I still feel you looking over my shoulder
You’re sinking guilt and approaching nightmare
And I know none of us will survive
Because I know everything

Alright

And my dear I need you to move a little faster

Please sleep my darling sleep
Your cry for inspiration never reaches ears on distant stars
And every night our lonely planet slide across the universe
And I won't pretend I understand

Please sleep my darling sleep
Your death by information
Won't disturb the peace on distant stars
And even when you lock the doors
And slide behind the unlit shades
None of us are strangers anymore

The place I used to live made me feel like a tourist
I couldn't coexist with the cold and suspicious
When the last remaining light was starting to filter
It seemed the perfect time to step into the future

Your heart is a grave to be perfectly honest
Your mouth's a smoking gun
And you smile while you're twisting the knife in my stomach
Until everything is gone
Take all you can from me

Hey silly girl I think I got a thing for you
From late nights spent driving in this stolen car
The years we wasted living in this desert town haven't broken us
so far

Hot afternoons we climbed onto the neighbor's house
Breathed deep and jumped into a waiting sky
Our bare feet were framed on the horizon
I felt the future in your eyes

It was the promise of summer

She's a pretty girl
She's always falling down
And I think I just fell in love with her
But she won't ever remember, remember
And I can't always find her
At the bottom of a plastic cup
Drowning in drunk sincerity
A sad and lonely girl

Quit crying your eyes out
Quit crying your eyes out and baby, come on
Is it there's something familiar about me?

Love
This is getting harder
And I can't seem to pick you out of the crowd
But you my dear have been discovered a liar
And I'm afraid that this is building up for far too long

And this is not the time or place for us to speak like this
Even if I had the thought I'd never dream of it
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water

And my heart hangs from this noose
Like your footsteps in crowded rooms
Filled with sweet scents of autumn blooms
Is this what you imagine?

Catch a glimpse from her empty stare
Hidden eyes behind her auburn hair
Catch my breath for the smoke to clear
And it's just as it should be

My best-laid plans wilil build and break your heart
Her guilty hands tear my whole world apart

(Instrumental)
