lyrics

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

Woah 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 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 to lie  and tell me that I'm not
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
(To take control of my life)

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

Just a little memory 
That shelf with all the others 
You try to lie  and tell me that I'm not
Just pieces of history 
Not timeless or safe 
Bearing the weight  of the things that you forgot

This time you won't get
 The chance to speak the last word
