[Verse 1]

The blood is rushing to my head

This room is spinning round the bed

A flashing image perforates

Tarnishes memories of grace

A bursting bond reforms into this shape


[Chorus]

And if my body makes it out

Unscathed and safe from broken vows

A promise spoken leaves me holding on

I just can't get a hold of

Why we always hurt the ones we love

Can burning hearts still keep us strong?


[Verse 2]

A crack has formed in the foundation

The floor is falling out from under me

A pleading loser makes his case

A liar shakes his head and breaks

A life of honor turns into his shame


[Chorus]

And if my body makes it out

Unscathed and safe from broken vows

A promise spoken leaves me holding on

I just can't get a hold of

Why we always hurt the ones we love

Can burning hearts still keep us strong?


[Bridge]

It's all my fault (It's all my fault)

This eagle's flying down below where shadows fall

Now it's sinking in (Now it's sinking in)

That I'm sinking into this place I never thought I'd fall

You can't trust me, I'm not worthy

You won't ever feel this way

The storm is moving overhead

The wind is blowing back, we've been misled


[Chorus]

And if my body makes it out

Unscathed and safe from broken vows

A promise spoken leaves me holding on

I just can't get a hold of

Why we always hurt the ones we love

Can burning hearts still keep us strong?
