The World Was Quiet

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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
