lyrics

The edges they frayed
As our minds they strayed
From the track that we followed
And the pride that we swallowed
My mirror is blurred, and I overheard
That without a clear reflection, comes little or no progression

I've given up, given up on this endless fight
All the love, all the lies, and the sleepless nights
I hear long haunting echoes, as I read through my memos
From the voice of the cold sea, and the one lying in me

I believe that we had something, the mess we made was quite stunning
Love can't live on credit, when this sank, you let it
So lessons learnt next time I'll try
To hold myself I won't deny
The greatest blow came from the best
So now I'll lie alone, and rest

It's for the best
But I don't see how
I'm gonna leave now

If you never try you'll never know
But please don't let this go
Said the voice of our old tree
And the one living in me

I believe that we had something, the mess we made was quite stunning
Love can't live on credit, when this sank, you let it
So lessons learnt next time I'll try
To hold myself I won't deny
The greatest blow came from the best
So now I'll lie alone, and rest

Whoa, whoa.....

I believe that we had something, the mess we made was quite stunning
Love can't live on credit, when this sank, we let it
So don't blink now, or else I'm gone
Almost just to prove you wrong
And though I've tried I just can't shake it
You're the one who made us break it
I can't take anymore

So please tell me, can you tell me?
How we lost it all...
