Lyrics

When the Bough Breaks

You could stay alive
Just tell me that you notice
Even in the dark
The way I left you breathing

Sometimes when we touch
Everything we love resets
It's only just enough
Even when we run with death

We could be released
Flowing over sorrow days
We could stay suspended
Even when the bough breaks

Sometimes when we touch
Everything we love resets
It's only just enough
Even when we run with death

Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me

Everything we touch turns water into blood
You try to look away from even when the bough breaks
You don't really love, you just hate to be alone
You hate to be alone
You hate to be alone

Everything we touch turns water into blood
You try to look away from even when the bough breaks
You don't really love, you just hate to be alone
You hate to be alone
You hate to be alone

Everything we touch turns water into blood
You try to look away from even when the bough breaks
You don't really love, you just hate to be alone
You hate to be alone
You hate to be alone

Everything we touch turns water into blood
You try to look away from even when the bough breaks
You don't really love, you just hate to be alone
You hate to be alone
You hate to be alone
