THE LYRICS:
Tell
me what God says to you
And what the devil tells you to do
Tell me what it feels like
When the hurt comes
And the pills won’t keep it away
I
saw a million stars when you left
I saw a broken man down the stairs
I saw the fear and I ran
From the cuts in your eyes
Chorus:
And red was the blood on the floor
And yellow sun was in my hair
Green is the glass in your eyes
And blue were the tears that stain
The moments that we live for.
What’s
it like out there?
What’s it like out there?
I remember your name
And the place where you fled
When
she smiles it’s the ghost of me
When she screams it’s the death of me
When she holds your head and whispers
Do you think of me?
Repeat Chorus
We’ll
always say the prayers
To keep the ghosts away
We’ll always say “I do”
Before it’s done.
Repeat Chorus
I
broke your fall
I killed them all
And then I came undone.
