lyrics

Half hearted hand in hand, I guess we tried.
My hands are too dull to feel you pull away.
You walk away from me without a sigh.
Fake a smile, take a drink, don't even think
About the huge mistake we both just made.

Stumbling out the door, heaving up the apology,
I couldn't bear to give.
My spiralling mind sends me into the concrete.

Summer's wasted, and so are you.
Time is fading and I am too.

Climbing back to my feet,
I find your face,
Our gazes meet,
You take my hand,
We both leave.

Who says the french can't do some proper emo? Also awesome album opening with the Stand by Me references. The tracks are absolutely banging and the whole album is worth listening to. dominikgray
