VERSE ONE:
my heart beats but in survival mode
i've looked into eyes, but not as see-through as yours
i talk about the world like it's mine but in reality it's far from it
i pick apart my own peace of mind, but now i strangely miss it
PRE-CHORUS ONE:
if i had a wand, it was to make your wishes come true
if i sang a song, it was of the deepest blue
if i ran across the ocean, i'd be led right back to you
but if i lost my wonder, it was all thanks to you
CHORUS:
you were my hero before i knew what the word meant
in my god-forsaken homeland
where the beggars earn more riches if money was happiness
lonely kingdoms, emptier than a heart
and i can tell, i wasn't meant to be a part
of what so easily disappears
always lingers near
VERSE TWO:
i can tell you wanted to be freed
but the world got in between
i can tell if you were happy
it wasn't because of me
i can tell apart your real smile from your fake
the cards you deal of fate
i can tell when you look through me, with eyes of haze
tell me, what can you tell about me?
PRE-CHORUS TWO:
if i lost a piece of myself, it's moving in you
if i lose track of time, it's when i'm with you
if i could truly see, it was through your eyes
if my story came alive, it's you
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
finally you learned to laugh again
and it's a curious myriad
but if i told you my fears, you'd cover your ears
your words heal me like an antidote i've never known
we belong to the same world, you and i, to each other's
(CHORUS)
