Verse 1 Broken, Broken wings still remember the sky, Some promise the world, still they don’t even try. With silver tongues they take you high, Then leave you bleeding, Just to feel alive. Verse 2 The liar simplified the mess she made, The lover built a temple in her shame. The dreamer is alone in the shade, The cover fell, she simplified his pain. Pre-Chorus Fear wears love like a borrowed crown, Tears fall up instead of down. Hope is all you got, Still hope doesn’t make a sound. Chorus So I get high where angels cry, Beneath the weight of a worthless sky. Love was the thing I couldn’t buy, Now I’m just learning how to die. Verse 3 It’s not how it was supposed to be, It was supposed to be you and me. Once upon a time, the story lied, You were here — still never mine. Bridge Falling in reverse, my heart was my curse, Now I never wanna love again. When I don’t love myself, it’s all in vain, Now in the cold November rain I just feed on the pain. Verse 4 / Outro I gave my blood to the silence you left, And called it love, though it hollowed me out. The echoes sing where two is a crowd, Still I wear your absence like a shroud. Now mercy feels like a stranger’s hand, Trust tastes bitter on my tongue. If this is grace, it slips like sand, I’ve grown numb where I was strong. Final Chorus (fade) So I get high where angels cry, Beneath the weight of a worthless sky. Love was the thing I couldn’t buy, Now I’m just learning how to die.
