Glass Heart Trail

[Verse 1] I met her by the train doors Rain on her coat, head down She laughed like it meant something Then vanished in the crowd I said the right things, maybe She said she had to go I keep finding gold in the ruins Then watching it say no [Chorus] Why does it keep on happening? Why do I fall so fast? I find the almost-perfect Then it never lasts Why does it keep on happening? I can't outrun that ache Same moon, same empty morning Same heart I couldn't save [Verse 2] She wore my favorite color Had that look like home We talked till the last bus left us Then she stayed unknown I got one shy smile, one number Then silence in the dark Like I was built to reach for What slips right through my hands [Chorus] Why does it keep on happening? Why do I fall so fast? I find the almost-perfect Then it never lasts Why does it keep on happening? I can't outrun that ache Same moon, same empty morning Same heart I couldn't save [Verse 3] Now every new face feels sacred For a minute, maybe more I swear I can read the ending Before she hits the door Am I too much, too late, too open? Or just not meant to win? I keep striking matches on strangers And burning where I begin [Chorus] Why does it keep on happening? Why do I fall so fast? I find the almost-perfect Then it never lasts Why does it keep on happening? I can't outrun that ache Same moon, same empty morning Same heart I couldn't save [Chorus] Why does it keep on happening? Why do I fall so fast? I find the almost-perfect Then it never lasts Why does it keep on happening? I can't outrun that ache Same moon, same empty morning Same heart I couldn't save [Chorus] Why does it keep on happening? Why do I fall so fast? I find the almost-perfect Then it never lasts Why does it keep on happening? I can't outrun that ache Same moon, same empty morning Same heart I couldn't save
