A Different Sound

You were willing to risk me Not just the loss, but the whole damn thing My heart, my mind, my lungs were yours for the asking Instead you wanted this, and this is devastating Where is the love those poets promised Is it in the still of cupid’s bow I don’t put much stock in fairy tales or miracles ‘Cause if they exist, sure as shit they never show Broken hearts keep beating They just make a different sound The flutter of wings against their cages A pair of lungs about to drown I’m so sorry I put you down You took me for granted Took me out of your pocket from time to time Like glancing at a watch or a passing sign Just leave me out of sight, and I’ll stay out of your mind Broken hearts keep beating They just make a different sound The flutter of wings against their cages A pair of lungs about to drown Never meant to let you down It’s in the simplest things Even breathing reminds me of you How do you lose a feeling When it means everything, and it’s in everything you do Broken hearts keep beating They just make a different sound The flutter of wings against their cages A pair of lungs about to drown I’d still love to see you around
