lyrics

‘Ms. Understandings’

When the world falls down
Were will you be
Just another shadow
Standing over me

Painted features
With eyes of glass
When you say that you’re real
Take a look at yourself

Empty promises
I can’t see you again
Take control of me
I know that this is the end

Believe in every gesture
When your eyes are so hard to see

How do you expect me to trust you
When everything you say is a lie
I let you in, you tore me down
This is our final goodbye

This time
You won’t get the chance
To speak the last word

Just a little memory
That shelf with all the others
You try and lie
And tell me that I’m not

I’m just pieces of history
Not timeless or safe
Bearing the weight
Of the things that you forgot

Your love is a fallacy
Your heart is a mystery

Your empty promises
And shallow goodbyes
I won’t let you over me
To take control of my life
