You were willing to risk me
Not just the loss, but the whole damn thing
My heart, my mind, my lungs were yours for the asking
Instead you wanted this, and this is devastating
Where is the love those poets promised
Is it in the still of cupid's bow
I don't put much stock in fairy tales or miracles
'Cause if they exist, sure as shit they never show
Broken hearts keep beating
They just make a different sound
The flutter of wings against their cages
A pair of lungs about to drown
I'm so sorry I put you down
You took me for granted
Took me out of your pocket from time to time
Like glancing at a watch or a passing sign
Just leave me out of sight, and I'll stay out of your mind
Broken hearts keep beating
They just make a different sound
The flutter of wings against their cages
A pair of lungs about to drown
Never meant to let you down
It's in the simplest things
Even breathing reminds me of you
How do you lose a feeling
When it means everything, and it's in everything you do
Broken hearts keep beating
They just make a different sound
The flutter of wings against their cages
A pair of lungs about to drown
I'd still love to see you around
