(*Beth Thornley)
For a long time I pretended there would be a perfect end*
That for now it didn't matter
Turn the tourniquet again
And all hands here without hearts don't know what they started
You can't say you love me ‘cause I know where we've been
You can't say you love me and do it all again
All the sparrows in the attic, they get quieter every day
All their singing got them nowhere
Oh, they wish they never came
And the lost here and the scorned wish they'd never started
Oh, it's just a line between here and gone
Oh, all of that time on a lost cause
And I've never quite forgotten how you promised me the world
How I thought that meant you loved me
But I was never your girl
