The World Was Quiet - Dayseeker

It’s been a long time coming, the consequence of why my pride got the best of me

Now it’s been two years and we still don’t speak

It’s been a long time coming, the consequence of why my pride got the best of me

Now it’s been two years and we still don’t speak

When we first met, I knew even then that you were different

I felt the earth stand still any time you were here

But the cheating, the lying, the act of denying it doesn’t always end up here

Here with nothing and you’re so far from me

I held that burden on top of my shoulders

With every day, not a single word and all I said seemed to fall on deaf ears

If our bodies are still so cold

Then why do you beg and plead for me to never let go?

We sleep on a bed of broken glass

A place to rest but it still cuts through your skin

Tell me where we stand when you’re standing beside him

Goodbye again for the last time

I used to see that flicker of light off in the distance but it always burns out

Do your eyes see that flicker of light?

'Cause all I see is pitch black

You and I, we sleep on a bed of broken glass

Every photograph to depict how perfect your life is

That should be me in those captured fragments of your memory

We sleep on a bed of broken glass

A place to rest but it still cuts through your skin

Tell me where we stand when you’re standing beside him

Goodbye again for the last time

Our love was a sinking ship bound to fail from the day we met

You accept the love that you think you deserve

So you’ll be miserable with him and I’ll still be waiting here

We watched that city burn bright, the sky filled with embers and your hand in

mine

How I wish you would suddenly appear

The world was so quiet when you were here

We watched that city burn bright, the sky filled with embers and your hand in

mine

How I wish you would suddenly appear

The world was so quiet when you were here
