lyrics

How can I miss you while you're sitting here beside me
beside yourself, inside your gut is empty
where have I flung the flag that flies to guide you
just to break you in the end and bleach it white
just to finalize your child's ending flight
and now the world's too dark a place
a cold embrace
two crying faces
and now the world's too big a place to make it right
and I been trying way too hard to pose a fight

I let a battering ram impale your heart and bruise you to the bone
and from the blood that's left behind we find easier to be lone my love
oh my love
my love

have I been on overdrive so many miles you lost your smiles
has my water drained the sugar from your blood
has the sun burned out and radiating light you have has turned to night
have you simply lost your music just because
was your melody made silent just because

I let a battering ram impale your heart and bruise you to the bone
and from the blood that's left behind we find easier to be lone my love
oh my love
my love

what I wouldn't give to relive all your younger days before
when you knew your biggest fears would never come
so now you're less afraid but everyday there's demons knocking at your door
and you're forced each and every one
and the girl you used to know is on the run

I let a battering ram impale your heart and bruise you to the bone
and from the blood that's left behind we find easier to be lone my love
oh my love
my love
