[Verse 1] We learned to lie Say we fell from the tower stair Hide the bruises Blame the cold Thin air You fixed my collar I wiped your bloody lip Two pale princes On a splintered ship [Chorus] In your arms The fire never burned me In your arms Her hand couldn’t turn me From the boy who’d bleed Just to take my harm If the world must break Let it break in your arms [Verse 2] She named us weak When her wine cup shook and spilled Said we were curses She should have had killed You took the words Like you took each blow meant for me Swore on your breath I’d die old and free [Chorus] In your arms The fire never burned me In your arms Her hand couldn’t turn me From the boy who’d bleed Just to take my harm If the world must break Let it break in your arms [Bridge] They say we’re chosen Scaled kings of sky and ash But we were children Flinching from the lash I’d trade the sky Every crown Every throne I earn Just to be your shield When her shadows turn (hey…) [Chorus] In your arms The fire never burned me In your arms Her hand couldn’t turn me From the boy who’d bleed Just to take my harm If the world must break Let it break in your arms If the gods must feast Let them feast on my scars I will stand between You and every dark [Outro] We swore as boys By the coals and broken charms If the house must fall We fall In each other’s arms
