lyrics

Stay awake if you can
I’ll show you the life we can have
I am not the enemy you think I am

You don’t think
I am gonna be there when you break
All of your promises
I’ll be by your side and take the blame
I can learn to swallow it

Stood with our toes in the sand
You drew out the lines of demand
If you leave me I will understand

Cause you don’t think
I am gonna be there when you break
All of your promises
I’ll be by your side and take the blame
I can learn to swallow it
But the only thing you’ll trust is your own madness

Never gonna take it away
You have an emptiness I can understand
Never gonna take it away
I’ve tried in vain to put us back together
But there’s only so much more I can take

I don’t want to be there when you break
(Never gonna take it away)
All of your promises
(You have an emptiness I can understand)
Won’t stay by your side and take the blame
(I’m not able to take that away)
I’ll no longer swallow it
(I’ve tried in vain to put us back together)
I don’t want to be there when you break
(I don’t know why I thought this would change)
All of your promises
(It was always gonna happen)
Won’t stay by your side and take the blame
(There’s only so much more we can take)
I’ll no longer swallow it
(We run on empty)
We run on empty
