The coldest spot in the house
Is the warm shadow left
On your side of the bed
The farthest I’ve ever been
Is lying next to you
When our fingers touch but our palms don’t ever meet
It’s always almost
But never there
Where did we go wrong?
Feeling you pull away
’cause nowhere’s a better place
Than here in my heart
What am I but a lonely space
To fall apart
I can’t fix the holes in our walls
I leave them bloody and torn
Terrified of peace ’cause it means moving on
I would rather die in this crumbling
Lonely house of tears
Because at least we’ll die in each other’s arms
Battered from the silence we’ve grown
From seeds of resentment
Planted in the pain we call home
You once looked in my eyes
Called them more precious than gems
Now I’m someone strange
Everytime you look my way
I miss something too but I know it’s not you
It’s what used to be
The roads we didn’t mark
All the love that we forgot
I pull every map we have
There is only nowhere and no roads
That take us home
Where are we but empty spaces
To be alone
I can’t fix the holes in our walls
I leave them bloody and torn
Terrified of peace ’cause it means moving on
I would rather die in this crumbling
Lonely house of tears
Because at least we’ll die in each other’s arms
Battered from the silence we’ve grown
From seeds of resentment
Planted in the pain we call home
I sleep only for dreams
So I can feel what could have been
Waking up is hell but you could never tell
Invisible lines holding us here
Lie and say they tie us together
We don’t have to try just to let it all die
